WHAT I CALLED LOVE
<p><br/></p><p>Hello dearest,</p><p><br/></p><p>’Tis been a looong, looong while...</p><p>I remember the soft, warm touch of your hands.</p><p>I’m haunted by the electricness of your hovering gaze,</p><p>and no matter how hard I try,</p><p>it’s impossible to forget the feel of your lips on mine...</p><p><br/></p><p>You never rushed me.</p><p>You never needed to.</p><p>You only stood there, close enough for the air to change,</p><p>close enough for everything else to feel unnecessary.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wonder why people are so difficult.</p><p>I wonder why it’s so hard for them to understand.</p><p>You’re not just a presence.</p><p>You’re more than a “monster.”</p><p>You’re my...</p><p><br/></p><p>Everyone talks about how odd our relationship is.</p><p>Rumours in town carry hopes to divide us.</p><p>My family won’t speak to me because they think I’m unwell.</p><p><br/></p><p>They say I’ve gone too far this time.</p><p>They say I’ve blurred something that should never be touched.</p><p>They’ve started looking at my pages like they’re evidence.</p><p>Like every word I’ve ever written is something to be afraid of.</p><p><br/></p><p>But how can I throw away the only thing that has kept me going?</p><p>I long for you so much that you weave yourself into my dreams.</p><p>Not gently. Never gently.</p><p>You arrive the same way every time—</p><p>sudden, certain, like you’ve always been there.</p><p><br/></p><p>My nights are filled with you.</p><p>The memory of you lingers in places I cannot reach anymore.</p><p>And even when I wake,</p><p>it stays.</p><p>It always stays.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s been many days now.</p><p>So long that I’ve lost count.</p><p>So bad that I’ve lost myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>They say you’re nothing more than something I created.</p><p>Something I let grow too far.</p><p>Something that has begun to take more than it gives.</p><p><br/></p><p>But we know.</p><p>We know what we share.</p><p>We know how far we’ve come...</p><p>how far we’ve gone.</p><p><br/></p><p>You’ve never needed words.</p><p>That’s what they don’t understand.</p><p>You’ve never needed to speak to be felt.</p><p><br/></p><p>I still feel you.</p><p>In the quiet.</p><p>In the stillness.</p><p>In the moments just before sleep takes me</p><p>when everything else fades,</p><p>and it’s only ever been you.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don’t promise that this will be the last letter I send.</p><p>I don’t promise that I’ll erase you from my mind.</p><p><br/></p><p>They’ve been giving me things now.</p><p>Little white tablets.</p><p>Bitter ones.</p><p>They say it will help me rest.</p><p>They say it will make everything quiet again.</p><p>But I think it’s taking you with it.</p><p>Each night feels thinner than the last.</p><p>Like something is being peeled away.</p><p>Like I’m forgetting something I shouldn’t be allowed to forget.</p><p><br/></p><p>I can’t stop them anymore.</p><p>And I’m afraid.</p><p>Afraid that one day I’ll wake up</p><p>and there will be nothing left of you to hold on to.</p><p><br/></p><p>Write me back once you get this.</p><p>Show yourself again.</p><p>Just once.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I can prove that you truly exist.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I can show them...</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe-</p><p>myself.</p><p><br/></p>
