Unlike many of my friends, I rarely have a sense of what day of the year it is. For that reason, and the fact that I am extremely single, I didn’t know that this email would fall on Valentine’s Day. No matter what your plans are today, I hope good things find you. You don’t need a day to tell people you care about them, but if you find happiness in today, go for it. Your relationship status on a random day in February is not an indicator of how well your life is going.
Best, always,
Julia

Where is your mind
when your arms are wrapped
around my shoulders,
our chests together,
your left hand
on my back.
Your breath, it moves
down my neck, my spine,
quickly — then slower,
slowly, it evens
until it
matches mine.
I wonder where
you go when we lay
like this. which moments
you see, which
memories
you replay.
