Dear Alejandro

Dear Alejandro, 

I was lonely. I was sort of down. I opened up my closet (pun fully intended) to find you waiting for me on the other side of the door. You came into my life several years ago now. Five years. It does not seem so long, but it has been this many years.  You have changed over time. As have I. We’ve gotten through some very interesting life situations. We’ve also failed to get through some. Or, I should say, you have helped me to get through some (and failed to help me get through some)? Yes, I think that is the best way to put it.
I missed you. It had been a while since we had gotten together to do what we do. I found some of the material with which we used to experiment. Some of it was really intense. I didn’t realize until we tried it out again only to find ourselves too out of practice.  My lips weren’t ready.
We got back to it very quickly didn’t we? It’s sort of like riding a bicycle. Although, I’m sure had we left it for long enough, it would have been forgotten. We need a bit more time with it to get back to the level we once were. But that’s what the summer is for, right? We can experiment.
Let us spend a lot of time together. Shall we perhaps invite others to join us? They may or may not enjoy our activities.
It’s not for everybody, remember.
Thanks for making me feel better.

Without you, my life would “B flat,”
