Letter to a Rock Star

That night I found myself in the bed of another woman, and she is happy to have me back when I need a place to stay. My life continues to mirror yours. But the world is a good friend to me. She was nurturing and kind, not demanding and expectant. I needed this. Even in my world, I felt fragile. The demands placed upon your strength... they are certainly beyond my power.

The next morning another woman joined us in the bed, but I was more interested in the sound of my own voice - like Johnny Cash. I had been coughing all night after yelling to be heard over the bands at the club. I wonder if you heard what I was saying?

I could not be sad that morning and likely not any day soon. The move to New York is so full of promise. It is a city that could only have been designed by Walt Disney. Full of details hidden to delight the observant, characters extending warm welcomes.

And I will always have my love for you. I continue to marvel at love. I demand nothing in return, but receive far more than I ever give. I am pursuing my dreams.

We may have lost a wonderful opportunity. But that was in the future, and my future is always bright. I will look for you there, and welcome you among my closest friends.
