eighty-eight


I love Halloween. I love dressing up. I love that you teased me and criticized; 
I love that you noticed.

The undefined nature of our connection terrifies me all the time, but I grin and bear it like so many pumpkin jack-o-laterns turned smiley faces.  I don't know what else to do. I love your attention; and I hate it when it leaves me scalded by your more-harsh-than-teasing tone. And I wonder how much longer your kind deeds will outweigh the times you've bruised my feelings with words.

But I wouldn't want you to change; because I love you just the way you are...
Trick or treat!

Happy Halloween.
