Each moment of a happy lover’s hour is worth an age of dull and common life. -Aphra Behn

Please see me. I’ll take any time I can. I’ll remind you anytime you hint at feeling guilt that I love and am committed to my wife. I have chosen a life and I bear the weight of that gratefully. But I know my poet’s soul is connected to you in another way. A way that exalts without diminishing. It is itself a pure thing. I will call you tonight at 11 unless you write that I shouldn’t.
