day134 - finally hers
dear luci,
I spent a good part of the day in her arms once more, a possibility I held onto but one that felt so far away. I introduced her to my parents, my grandparents (they're visiting this weekend, how serendipitous) and made up for lost time giggling and marvelling at how fucking beautiful she is. a great exhale after a month of breathlessness.
but it happened, I'm her girlfriend now (so highschool to be this celebratory over it, but fuck it, I earned this shit) and I will never take her, nor the work her partner put in, for granted. I cannot tell you how moved I was hearing how carefully and lovingly they've handled things.
I am still a little wary, feeling as if I've gotten too much good news all at once— where's the catch?— but whatever the future holds at least i take a great deal of comfort in knowing that we'll face it together.
I'm finally hers, she's finally mine, and the sadness, I think, has ended. next, I hope to reconnect with a certain puppy. there's so much love in my heart right now.
sweet dreams, little one
