We cannot choose much of who we are—queer, introverted, graying early, survivor—but I have never been so proud to be what I am than when I am with you
What I am most: is grateful, tides of thankfulness that break on me perpetually, a rolling cataclysm of adoration for your kindness, your sensibility, your support
I have always been a saltwater sea but now I think too an igneous outflow, something sedimentary in the way I will build whole worlds to bring you safety, happiness, sunshine
