variations of here

dear celeste, 

my only wish for today is for us to be able to sit alone together and i am looking forward to the day when we can do so in person once again.  

janina – happy four months. sleep divides us past from present, one day and the next. i wish you good, comfortable, deep sleep, i wish you restful mornings, so that you will be ready for whatever comes your way.

dear celeste, sayang, sinta ko,

i would include that one portrait of a lady on fire frame but at this point i think we both know it so well it no longer needs to be said out loud. in this world it seems that our english can never be enough. because of this i am grateful for all the other words that fill the gaps, and for all the ones that we get to share with each other.
