message to a friend
i don't know what made me do it, but i just went to look over his website again. and in some strange, detached way it's nice to know someone that well. i mean, i might not know what's most important to him at the moment, or who is is now on a personal level; after all, it's been years since we really spent any time together. but when i say i know him, i mean i recognize his handwriting, and i can see and smell philadelphia in the lines of his art. i can hear his voice, and his laugh, and picture how his hand moves across a page, drawing. looking at his work is like looking at him in a way, in the subjects he chose and the words... it's amazing to me. and if you're reading this someday, please forgive me my sentimentality - i know you were never much one for that... with me, at least. i remember your very first website, when you were so excited to have your very own 'thumbnails', and i recognized your thumb in one of your recent illustrations. i hope you're happy, although i know you already know that. if you would return my phone calls i could tell you in person (sort of) but this works too. just let me get it off my chest. i hope we keep in touch, you know. we'll always be there, somewhere in the wings of each other's lives, but i hope we keep in touch. i'm sure we will, one way or another. and take care. see you in philadelphia.y'know, you used to come to me when my heart was aching. i mean, when i was going through a dark night of soul you'd come to me in a dream and just hold me. and it wasn't anything but one person loving another, regardless of sex or age or outer relationship. i hope that makes sense, because when you came like that it had nothing to do with wanting to be with you on the outer. the funny thing was, i wasn't thinking about you at all, but there you were in my dreams... i know it sounds gushy and silly, but you mean a lot to me, for whatever reason. please know i'm here for you, and should you ever need anything i'll do my best to help. mon ami, ca suffit.
