Dear Love,

For a long time I have known there was a better place to be. I now have to find it and walk in. I'll not set a torch to what you gave me, and I do not have a box big enough to put it in for curbside removal. The mere idea to quit now, not one I'm willing to accept; I'm running out of time , so consequences be damned, I'm staying the course.

I hope this moment finds you more alive than dead, never my intention to disturb you to that level. Still puzzled by the time frame because it must have started shortly after I walked in the door, safely at home away from danger, but long before I wrote about finding that letter that threw me for a loop, that comment was written immediately after reading the letter and I very much in the throws of a physical reaction that intensified after.

De-clutter slow but steady, I can see an underlying surface again.

Sincerely, Heart.
