Mira,

What kind of game are you playing? Do you really believe you can continue to ignore what this is? What we are? Some nights I walk around your block a dozen times, waiting to see you in a doorway. A window. I want to find you so I can force you to look into my eyes and explain why you haven’t written back.

I’m trying to be patient. I know you are painting things for me. For us. I saw your newest work. The carnival and the crowd.

At first, it didn’t make sense. The painting is bleak and gray—nothing like the carnivals I remember. And the title—The Darkest Ride. None of it made sense, but then I saw myself. There I was in the crowd. White shirt and black shoes and a smear of hair just like mine. When I met you, I was facing to the left.

It’s a beautiful tribute, Mira. But I want more.

We can’t keep ourselves apart much longer. You’re fighting forces that are bigger than both of us.

Do what you need to do. And do it soon.

Yours
