Dear Chartreuse, ii.

I ended my last letter to you by admitting I feared you would never let me in.

I think I was wrong,

Not to get ahead of myself- I'm knocking on my skull

But you approached me quietly, timidly, sitting down on a close seat, your knees touching meekly,

You wanted my opinion

You wanted to know what I thought

And about your writing nonetheless,

A piece of your mind you handed to me; I got to hear your voice.

It's lovely, by the way

It made me laugh,

I can hear you in my head; your voice narrating every blunt, dry, disinterested joke.

A bit of vulnerability poked through too as you admitted you feel safe when you can depend on something,

You found comfort in the idea of god once,

I wonder what gives you comfort now.

Thank you for sharing with me, thank you for caring about what I think,

Thank you for giving me a piece of your gentle demeanor,

allowing the defense mechanism that is your humor to dim.

I love knowing what you think

I want to know more

If you'll let me


All the love,

Peach xx
