I want you to be the sweet, fresh-eyed boy, who kissed with a hesitant confidence and hugged with all the warmth inside of him.
And, I want to take chances on you, and careers, and life, and the universe.
In all of that, you will have taught me that love and life are the sweetest when they are simple and that’s really all one needs to know.
All of this, with racing hearts beneath starry skies in concrete jungles, some two odd years from the very first day.
“I had slept with one man whom I loved, and learned to love another man so much that it would never have occurred to me to want to sleep with him.” - Michael Chabon
