An October Remembrance...

One unexpected evening in October you wrote an email with "us" as a
subject. You wanted us to be together and you made sure I knew the
reasons why.

I didn't quite tell you my own reasons why. You were shy and
seemingly lonely inside. As the years go by and as I get to know you,
I find a boy who seeks to be loved. Even though you are not, you
remind me of a blameless child...

I adore you for
your eagerness to succeed
your fearless spirit and
having the guts to follow your dreams

Thank you for loving me as much as you could and making me excited when you arrive home.
