I’m Sure You’re A Different Happy Now

I can't believe it's already been almost two years since we got to spend any quality time together.

We were always so good about reading what the other was thinking or going through without so much as a single word. The times you helped me through my self hatred, showing me what I can be. The messes I'd get you out of in return. Neither of us ever learned for long, did we?

But when it was time for you to go on forward to your next adventure I fought my family tooth and nail to get you where you deserved. And while it took months to get them to let you leave, it was the right thing. I wish you could've stayed longer. Hell, I know you wish so too.

But maybe someday you can show me all the gardens you've gotten accustomed to stealing from or how to slow down and enjoy what I have now again. I've gotten a lot worse at that without you.

Now that winter is here, I notice your absence more as my feet get cold. You used to always make sure they were warm for me with that big red furry coat of yours, didn't cha' boy?
