This...this is so very...wow. Holy shit, dude. So very, very...fuck, I don't lie when I say I quivered a little when I read this the first time.

I read it three or four times, let it really sink in, before commenting...it's...wonderful, in a really important way, and I love the tone and rythm to it.

Did you know that not long ago I broke contact with someone whom I nigh worshipped and whom I thought I truly loved? They turned into something I couldn't recognise, turned cruel and dark and vile, and I had to come to terms with the fact that they've lost a need for me in their life and were draining what little heart and soul I had left. This...this piece you've written...it is VERY powerful, and the sheer imagery...it makes me feel a little more balanced and less horrified by what happened between Tom and I.

I really, REALLY can't thank you enough, though I sure plan to try. You are all kinds of awesome. SRSLY.

Btw, totally unrelated...I keep meaning to mention it and forget each time I think of it: y'all are off to Paris Island soon??? Mad envy, fuck do I wish it'd worked out for me (recruiter kinda fucked me over, gave me false hope. :P) and mad props to you dude, takes guts to even consider it, a lot more to go ahead and do it. I really, REALLY respect you for it, and it makes you that much more awesome in my book. Don't forget about us all though, ok? :)

You're welcome. And I had no idea you recently broke contact with him. I sat down to write something for you. And this just felt like all kinds of right. Like something was telling me this was the perfect piece for you. I didn't understand why, at the time, but it makes sense now. Every so often, I get these little flashes of other people. I guess this was one of them. I'm glad this was to your liking so much. Thank you for your kind words.

And yes, I leave for Parris Island in 35 days, and no, I'm not gonna forget about all my awesome friends. Promise ^^

It really IS the perfect piece for me, you have a wonderful instinct for poetry/lyrics. Thank you so much!!! *hugs*

Best of luck at Basic, I'll keep a good thought for ya. :D
