I miss you. I've had a lot of change happen in my life in the past two months and I feel like I'm growing up more. Big girl job, car... all steps in the right direction, but then I look at my relationships and I can't even fathom a possible scenario that brings you to be in the reasonably distant future, much less right now. I've never been a huge fan of delayed gratification.

Everyone keeps telling me how my early-mid twenties are the best times of my life. They say that, but in my head I wonder how it can be the best without you next to me? I know that's kind of melodramatic, but it's there... go ahead and judge.

I want you to hurry (yet again) because you're half of me and the older I get, the more certain I become that we were not created to live life alone. Sharing, fighting, loving, compromising... all of those actions shape and intensify life in a way that solitude just... can't.

Yours.
