I met you five and a half years ago next to a computer monitor at our place of work. I couldn’t tell whether you were 16 or 30; you’ve been intriguing me ever since. We live in completely different cities now and I haven’t seen you in months, but I adore you nonetheless. Your fuschia hair and your darling cat always have a place in my heart. Looking forward to the end of my current job so I can visit the hell out of you in rodeo town. —Your east-west forever pal xoxo
