“And so it seems I must always write you letters that I can never send.”

Sometimes the butterflies hold very still and hold their breath waiting to be caught.

Seems legitimate.
Spooky season
One year of joy and two of penance. I hear the birds return, and think of you listening to their call,
I hear those birds before I hear you
trusting it the sound of me, the secret and the truth of me laid bare
to sing for you alone. It was.
All those nights melted into one. All those mornings basking in your soft laughter
as you teased me, teased me, teased me, thinking I’d die before I walked away.
And I did. Oh, how I died.
In the afterlife, a saint calls me a phoenix
and all I can think is, I was reborn in flames but I never sang again.
You are a language I am no longer fluent in but still remember how to read.
