dear ybabefac,

i’ve returned from a journey that i should have came back from, long overdue. and i have come with memories and many gifts that i will cherish and along my voyage back, i lost something very precious. i love it dearly, it is beautiful, gracious, glowing with passion and as lovely as could be that it hurts my eyes but if it hurts this good i can’t look away. i lost it in a battle along the pyramids of giza, where it was hot and a vast land of nothingness. i continued to travel, ignorant of what i left behind. and once i was home, i was empty. so i rode back in every way i could, to find it, yet i only found a piece. i couldn’t have the whole thing but i will wait to find the rest of it. i can’t wait to place together each limb again so i can remember the curves that bend with the shadows when i hold it up to the light, admiring the beauteous object. i can’t wait to see the brownness of the eyes that stare back at me, and although an object, a soul lingers within and i get intimidated, and shy. you will always be my most treasured possession. and i apologize for losing you in the sand, and breaking you, but i am crawling in the grains to find every bit of you, to place it back together, so i know exactly what i have, and who you are. i will remember what it is to appreciate something so small, and so gentle. i will love you and keep you for the rest of my life, keep you on a pedestal, because eternally, you belong to me, prized possession, and i belong to you.
