Come further up, come further in
― C.S. Lewis

I gave You my word God, I will never talk about this with You or anyone again.

I intended to keep my word.
I cannot look back.
I can only go forward.
further up and further in.

And with last night's text conversation I broke my word from March 26th.

Claire sat with me as I cried like a fucking preschooler (and believe me I know how they cry) hiding my face under the quilt.

She's moving to the Mountains.
and in an astonishingly ironic fashion she is moving to the mountains exactly one year after I posted that letter to You, oh God, venting my fears that she would.

Me vs Mountains


Last June in that post I was afraid she wouldn't stay for me.
I said I've seen her cry but never over the loss of me.

This winter she told me she would have stayed for me.
This fall she cried in my arms over the loss of me.

She called me family. Fuck, she still did last night...
It took losing her to finally see how much she cared about me.
And now I know, and now she's gone.

All I've ever wanted for her is to be free.
She is, she's moving to the mountains, and I am staying.

I cannot look back.
I can only go forward.
further up and further in.

I foolishly hope she'd go a fifth round.
I love that woman, and I always will.
