T & A

Val and Austin standing together in warm afternoon light
still my favorite person

A short one

I’m not going anywhere.

I love you. That hasn’t changed and I’m not expecting it to.

You need space. You’re going to get it. I’m not going to text you to find out if you’re done needing it.

You still have my heart. I’m not holding that over you and I’m not asking for it back.

When you want to talk, I’m here. Any hour, any day, however long it takes. You won’t owe me an explanation for the gap.

Take your time. I mean it.

One more thing

Before you, I never wanted to get married.

Before you, I never wanted to protect a bond this badly.

Before you, I had never felt true love.

You, and you alone, taught me what love is.

Thank you for that. Nothing takes that back.

I love you. Always, Austin

P.S. You took MY dental floss 😠 Rude.

This site stays up. So does everything on it.
