Dear Sarah, I think I got lost a bit there in the patterns of your dress - stars splattering over the hems of your skirt like a never-ending physics class. You ever studied the constellations? Because speaking of, I think I've gotten lost too in the way your voice sounds like a nebula cracking open. Your eyes travel at speeds laced with infinite decimal points, each glint and blink slowly chasing down light particles - which is to say I cannot seem to grasp how flustered I really am by you and how your poems always seem to leave my lungs screaming for more air. Staring at your face makes me feel like I'm trapped in a vacuum.

Dear Sarah, We're in Outer Space!

Project Voice. Sarah Kay. They made me write a letter. Hate the fact that I didn't get to read it. Well more of relieved.
