OF
TINY HEIGHTS
Dear
Love,
I always really appreciated handwritten letters. Maybe you think they're
sappy or highschool, like notes scrawled on loose-leaf notebook paper
stuffed in lockers, riddled with bubble letters and rounded hearts. Me?
I like 'em. There's a certain warm familiarity to it, Like knowing just
how much chocolate he wants on his icecream you know?
Dear Love,
Maybe I'm just old fashioned. Maybe I felt like saying "I love you"
without the mechanical click of the keyboard. Maybe I felt like saying
it without the blinking, vertical input cursor prompting me, as if I was
expected to say something after. Maybe not.
Dear Love,
With my orange gloves and red pen, And my flushed face, I suppose from
a distance it must look like I have a fire in my hands, Which I can't
seem to look up from.
Dear Love,
Sometimes people ask me to take off my heels, so I sink down to a tiny
height. They tease and I smile. It's a big jump. But all I ever think
about then is standing in front of you, barefoot, and hoping you'd tease
me too.
Dear Love, Please write.
