Dear Drake #70
Dear Drake,
Did you hear about that guy who met his lover and everything was all great and good until one day he looked into his lover’s face and saw his child staring back at him? Could you imagine? Apparently the lover had removed the lover’s mask—maybe to get some air or maybe because the mask was tight and stifling—to reveal the face of a child who was asking for daddy. But the thing is, the man was still a son and couldn’t reckon with having to be a father, so he walked away from his child. Could you imagine? He lost a love. Could you imagine? I mean, what if it was a great one? I think it was a great one. But all loves are great, aren’t they? I don’t know…I guess he lost this love so he could go on to eventually stop loving someone else, or something else; so that he might love again; so that he’d stay somebody’s son; so that someone or something would always take care of him and watch him play. Or maybe he keeps losing his loves so that he goes on unrelated to anyone or anything. This is a man who has driven himself to not having any kin and I’m sure he calls that peace. How crazy is that? I believe you can imagine.
