Dear Levi,
Family Day, MCRD San Diego, California. The sun setting slow and sweetly. Hot dog smoke. Palm trees. Taylor Swift on the boom boxes. My Levi. Levi in green athletic shorts, his leg so bruised, his face so angry and controlled. Levi in sharp tan uniform, his face happy and childish and yet older somehow, so close and tangible I could literally reach out my fingers and touch him if I could dare to. I just never want to forget that time with you. Never. You don't have to love me. I just love being near you. You're like my sun. My soul blossoms to the warmth.
Your star,
Rigel
