You See, My Heart Is Beating A Thunderous Beat And It's Aching From All The Words You Let Them Escaped

when i was 12 i babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art, drag me by my wrists and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. and she’d be like “do the voice” and i’d put on a sports-announcer olympics-style voice and be like “such form! this level of coloring! why i haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time. and what is this? why jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made … a monochrome pink canvas…. i haven’t seen this attempted since winter 1932… and i gotta say, jeff, it’s absolutely splendid”  and she’d fall back giggling. at the end of every night she’d check with me: “did you really like it?” and i’d say yes and talk about something i noticed and tucked her in.

she was just accepted into 3 major art schools. she wrote me a letter. inside was a picture from when she was younger. monochrome pink. 

“thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”

I used to spend so much of my time thinking about you. I was convinced that I could fix us. That I could figure out where we went wrong and make everything okay again. I wanted everything to go back to the way it was before we became such different people. But we both changed; there’s no denying it. We are still in each other’s lives, but in a new way now, a less involved way, but still some sort of way. And I’m accepting it. I don’t mind it so much anymore. I will be okay eventually. Change is good.
