For Mr. Stonefell

and now I see Daylight”

Dear Adrian,

As a writer, I have so many things in my mind
that I wanted to write about especially the
marvelous time we’re having together. I’m not
sure if I can fully express the entirety of my sweet
musings about you.

With you, I feel safe from all the horrors of my
past. I have let you see the scars I’ve hidden for so
long, only for you to tend as if there is still a way
to get rid of it. The scars will be there forever, but
the pain it’s caused will no longer linger. My past
may have been as dark, as if there was no light,
but I had hoped for the day that the sun will
shine on me again – I’ve been fortunate enough
that its luster led me to you.





As we go through this together, I am always
reminded that though you are always with me I
will always have to be in constant state of
discovering and loving myself. Perhaps we won’t
know what the future holds for us, but I am
grateful that you have been a part of my life –
one that’s worth living.

I may have always been so distant on talking
about my hopes and dreams for us but know
that I will walk with you towards the place you
want to traverse. I want to see you grow and be
the person you wanted to be because that is how I
want to love you.

Thank you for being there for me for all the
times I am happy, sad, or anxious. Here’s to more!

Love,
Christel
