Today I woke up to daydreaming about you. Yesterday I saw some jewellery and I remembered the jewellery I almost got for you as a goodbye present when you were leaving in December. At the same museum, I saw some elaborate boxes, too, and this morning all these things came rushing into my head and I thought about how I will find a good present for you when you come and visit. I want to find something beautiful for you…

Today I read an article and it suddenly occurred to me to send it to you, but then I realised I cannot. I wanted to hear your opinion, to discuss with you, hear your excitement and joy about something interesting to read. I wanted to hear what you had to say. I remembered all our times exchanging articles and opinions about them, patiently listening to each other’s points of view and discussing the many topics we always covered. I miss our intellectual conversations. I still remember you being worried about me shying away from the intellectual on our first date..
