Balloon Letter #18

Reverb

I can hear them loud and clear.

The intangible yet suffocating emotions as they echo off these walls.

A reverb so strong it shatters every inch of me.

My knees give in,

And for the first time in a while,

I am overwhelmed.

On the verge of tears.

My hands grab at any shred of your presence.

Please let me drown here.

Let the sound overtake me.

I will stay here as long as I need in the warmth of your light.

In the comfort of your fictitious company.

And when I leave,

I will return.

Again and again.

Your voice.

Your voice, your voice.

Soothing, warm, inviting.

Your laugh.

Your laugh, your laugh.

Bright, loud, addictive.

Your face.

Your face, your face.

Attractive, mesmerizing, familiar.

I want to see more, hear more, experience more, of you.

The needs scares me, paralyzes me, distracts me.

My thoughts are no longer my own. They belong to another, a beautiful person, a loved one.

It scares me, it scares me, it scares me.

I want to deny these feelings. Lock them away. Never look at them again.

But I cant. It’s too strong. Too overwhelming.

I love your voice.

I love your laugh.

I love your face.

I love you.

Balloon Letter #16

To the wandering heart,

Newly moved out, on your own accord.

It’s a badge you wear proudly. A mark of big choice, a responsible choice, a hard choice. The right choice.

But now where do you go, little one?

Where?

To whom do you belong?

Oh, but that you do know.

You’ve known all along.

The warmth you feel, the spark in you that threatens to burn out of control.

You know.

And it’s terrifying to think of. Frustrating.

Anxiety inducing.

But you know.

You know where your home is now.

But wait.

Wait.

And listen.

To the streets around you.

Take it all in.

You know where your home is.

Listen.

Take baby steps.

Look.

Take your time.

Savor the growth, the one you’ve become.

The one you’ve always been.

Embrace the fear, the anxiety, the uncertainties, the guilt.

And then be happy because

Home is there.

The warmth exists.

Home is there.

It’ll be okay.

Balloon Letter #14

Sometimes I wonder if I’ve really fallen under some sort of spell.

Not to be overly sentimental or anything but I feel so comfortable around you? Everything feels so warm, and soft and those pockets of silence are even somewhat comforting.

I learned so much about you today. When I say music connects me to the people I love most, today was a prime example.

You have no idea how happy it made me to have you voluntarily coordinate outfits with me. You have no idea how happy I was matching with you. You have no idea. Or do you?

God it got cut off way too soon. I would spend all night with you if I could. I really wish I could.
