Someone forgot to tell you
That you are loved.
So, I am here.
I am all of those words
That all of those boys
Should have said, but never did.
I wonder how many times since you
They have wished they had.
“Sorry Charlies, this gal is mine.”
Have you ever told someone “I love you”
Just to hear how those words felt against your lips?
Me neither.
Last night I had a dream
About falling asleep and dreaming, and
I woke up wondering how it would end.
See, there are only three things in this life I know for sure:
1: Cheap guitars always sound better
2: Things break for a reason, and
3: One day everyone I know will die.
You and me,
We are the kids who are born in the gutter, but
Belong to the stars.
So, let’s do it.
Let’s put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV, and
Make out like black magic.
Sad boys believe in love
Because of the day you were born.
Did you know that?
What else?
I hope you know there is magic in your air.
I hope you know that your hands are holy.
Convince yourself of this one truth:
Your heart is that light The Smiths sang about.
Let’s do something neither of us will regret.
Let’s paint “Love IS Possible” over every billboard we see, and
Let’s mean it.
There were so many times
I did not know why my heart insisted on beating, and
Now I know.

Hello.
Thank you so much for such kind words. Sometimes I live inside of my own head so much that I forget how soft the world can be. Thank you for reminding me.
Very humbly yours,
James

Hello.
You are speechless. I am blushing.
Both of us are smiling at these facts, yes?
From ear to ear,
