All that you said was…

” I miss your smile, XO, XO”

And from 2:38 PM when you texted me that message

Until right now

29 hours later

I have felt like the most delicate pristine dew drop

whipping on the warm breeze

Because in my mind

What I read was,

“Pixie, I have made so many mistakes in my life. One of them being

my inability to see how perfect you are for me a thousand years ago

And now I am keeping my promise…

Remember the promise?

That if neither of us were married by 30

Of course I would come for you…

I’m only 2555 hours behind schedule…

And you waited..

And I love you, XO XO”

Instead of saying back,

“Thats sweet.”

Like I did nearly two days ago-

In my mind,

I picked up the phone and reserved my flight to your town

And I showed up at your door

Heart in hand

Hands and arms extended

Tears flowing

Lips saying,

“Oh Adonis,

You are gorgeous, brilliant and complicated

each of the reasons I love you more and more

every second of the day and time and space

and distance and age will never seem like anything

compared to just one kiss from you

all I wish is that you could see you from the rose tinted glasses 

I look at you through

I’m here now

Our life together can begin.”

The ridiculousness of it all  makes me guffaw

which wakes me up from my delirious haze

and I remember that I still need to complete a few applications

wrap a few presents

write my dad

and re- do my nails.

Thank you Adonis.

For every time you speak to me

I get to go on a well deserved

fantasy vacation

in your arms….
