Dearest Sam,
My majestic moose
You’re truly a gift to this world.
Your eyes are like bottled sunshine
Lighting up every dark corner of my world.
There has never been a person more kind or beautiful,
And I am enraptured.
Brady
You wore the cornflower tie I first saw you in the other day.
I never thought I’d wind up thinking cornflower, of all things, attractive,
but there is it and there you are
and I find myself wanting to thread it through my fingers and pull you close
to feel your stubble against my cheeks
your thin lips against my own
to see the twinkle in your eyes up close –
and fall in love all over again.
Sam
I feel in love in a comic shop
I remember it vividly,
The scent of plastic and ink,
The slick laminate floor beneath my feet,
The bright green walls all around – the color of an alien’s armpit –
And I should have known I’d find someone so out of this world there.
You fought me on the merits of Black Canary vs. Black Widow
I wanted to take you out back
And kiss you breathless
You were so passionate about it.
I fall in love with you every time you tell me how wrong I am.
Brady
I saw you crying the other day. You didn’t see me, but I was there.
I wonder what could be so bad,
to make someone so beautiful so sad.
I wish I could take it all away.
If I had the power, I’d erase anything that would dare make your smile fade
I’d chase away all the darkness from your life,
and I’d bottle your laughter for my own rainy days.
It would be worth it, to take your suffering on as my own
If only I could hold you in my arms for the rest of my life.
Sam
I used to wonder if people were destined to be together
Now I’m fairly sure I know.
Your hands fit perfectly with mine,
Like we were made to fit together.
Your lips against mine, the way we grind together,
It’s like magic,
Two parts of the same whole,
Fitting together in perfect unity.
It’s breathtaking.
Brady
I love you.
They’re words I never knew I could feel on my own lips
much less directed at someone I’m not related to.
They’re like candy, sweet, and addictive, full of a rush I never knew I could have.
I sometimes wonder what my father would say – if he would care at all –
but I know I don’t care.
You’re precious to me – a diamond in the coal mine of my life
and I’m never letting you go.
I love you now.
I’ll love you forever.
Sam
Brady,
It’s been years since we last wrote to each other.
I wonder what happened – what made you change –
but I have to accept that you are not the same person you once were.
The bright-eyed boy I fell in love with is dead
and some stranger walks around in his skin.
I fell in love again.
I don’t know if you care. If you ever did.
I hope so.
I loved you then.
I love you now.
It’s just different.
I hope you’re well, wherever you are.
Sam Winchester
