My Dearest Beau,

I must confess since your last visit, I’ve been left tossing and turning at all hours of the night.

The warmth of your touch, the proximity of your body, the sensation of your mouth on mine will not leave my mind.

When I shared my feelings with you and first kissed you, I wasn’t ready for your response.

But when you wrote me saying you’re saving your response for when we were face-to-face… Sweet Makers, Beau.

Learning your affection matched my own felt like finding a piece of me I didn’t know I was missing. I hadn’t expected feelings beyond friendship to become more as you admitted, but I, too, cannot imagine it being any different now. It feels… bigger than my heart.

And I know it doesn’t sound as poetic as you said, I’ve never been as good at verbalizing my feelings. But Deities, I feel like I am losing my mind. I cannot even focus on anything educational because my thoughts only consist of when I can be near you, talk with you, write you—kiss you.

I hope for one (all) of those happening soon.

Sincerely,

Your Rosebud
