Sebastian Birthday Poem

Darling Sebastian, beauteous sunshine-haired angel: I miss you and yet oceans have kept us from ever meeting. Dastardly storm clouds break up our connection, sometimes, yet I am honored to refer to you as a friend. Had fate blessed us differently I would have a multitude of opportunities to hold you and tell you all the stories my heart could conjure, and I would utilize every second we had together. One day we will meet, I will not die until then. If on my deathbed, I never knew your presence I would materialize beside you and find resolution. How can I speak of you in terms fitting to our situation? Meadowlark, Rapunzel, Ultima and Don’t Turn Away. I am not ready, not yet, but when you and I meet, I swear I will proclaim and confide in you: About Everything. Just know, for now, that you become more intelligent, kind, and intriguing as I get to know you. All because you were kind enough to contact me. Had I known of your productions, I may not have been as brave to contact you as you were for me; I am shy and not nearly as charismatic as you. You inspire me more than you could ever know, there are many things that you help me through despite the curse of distance keeping us so far apart. O, darling… I cannot speak to you the way I wish… Adulthood- may it treat you well, for you deserve all earth’s treasures. I am close behind, we shall meet in years soon- and no amount of miles could keep us from that! Please, Celebrate, and know that you are magnificent! Love, your ever-honored, Leap-Year Valentine!
