Dear Miguel,
Tell me to pick any emotion because I am feeling so many right now. Sing to me one of those pop songs that meant the world to you, the ones you would belt out at any given moment while I gave you my full attention. Let’s go for that protein smoothie one more time, the one that took a half-hour walk in the heat but was always worth it. Any chance we had, you wanted to go, and I thought I was the one who drank a lot of them.
​Let’s go for a late-night walk one more time, eating food on the sidewalk and sharing the stories of our lives. Let’s go dancing and grab ice cream, saying so little while our smiles say a million words. Let us lay around on your mattress staring at the night sky, opening our hearts to the sound of the ocean and sharing stories of love and relationships.
​Let’s just stare at each other one more time and smile in the silence. Let’s go back to the night we met, when you got lost on the ferry and I waited two hours just to see you. You told me you faced a fear just to meet me, and that will always mean the world to me.
​Let’s hold onto each other tightly one more time and never let this feeling go.
I fu**in love you, Tyra.
Your Chelon.
