I know you want me. And I want you. But it's such a struggle... I'm sitting here, knitting something. I don't know what it'll become, I'm just knitting.
My thoughts are still with you. I feel so old, sitting in a Rocking chair and knitting. I used to sit on my grandma's lap as a child when she did this. I'm in my thirty's, I don't even have kids. That's not what I should be doing right now. But it's quiet out here so I don't really care.

There are some animals in the garden. So e birds with their Nests, a Rabbit, I don't know if he has a family and a bunch of insects and worms. I always have loved animals, but I never tried to touch them, knowing that they're scared. I am trying to live a quiet life. But even though. Even if I live a quiet life, a life in peace. I can't give it to you. When you have something, captured for yourself, for years, it's too hard to give it to someone else or share it. I love you, I swear it.

The Rabbit is coming out of his hole. He's sniffing in the air and looks over to me. I can see him in the dimmed light. The only light coming is from the string lights on the porch where I'm sitting. The rabbit is dark grey and a big boy. We always used to look at each other. One time I had given him some carrots. I layed them down on the porch for the night and next morning they were gone. It makes me happy to think of this. Maybe someday he has kids. I hope he's still in my garden then. He's good company.

Now I know what to do. I smile and start knitting again.
