Dear Levi,

We shared the sunrise this morning. Yours was a glowing yellow and dusky grey rippling over a sea of clouds above Atlanta. Mine was a sparkling gold with hints of red shooting through the sleeping skyscrapers of downtown OKC.

I'm jealous you're on a plane and I'm still landlocked here.

You're headed for the ocean, and I imagine how excited you must be, the farthest east you've ever been, I think. Despite my sadness that there is still so little between us, it warms my heart to know that we are not longer estranged by a gulf of animosity. You texted me back last night! A tremble of blissful chimes I've been longing to hear since, wow.... February!

Will you ever reach out to me? It is my prayer for your time in Florida. To learn to want me again, and start to show it.

But as for this morning. I drive around to my catering clients and you meander through airport terminals and I just wanted to share this bright, soft moment.

Good morning, Levi.
I love you.
Look at the sunrise, it is smiling for us.

Your star,
Rigel
