Anonymous asked: So, hey, I've been meaning to tell you this for awhile, but your beauty can be a bit intimidating, you know. I really like you. A lot. I think of you constantly. There is a small, well-lit corner of my mind where you've taken up long term residence. The thought of you is just a constant companion. I look forward, quite excitedly, to the next time we cross paths. To be with you is a piece of beauty in my life.

I was going to post a gif with this, a very sweet gif of course, but even that sweet gif took away from how much this message truly meant to me, and i would never jeopardize that. To the point:I cannot express how precious you are to me, my dear boy. You are so wonderful, so incredibly wonderful, I could burst with it.  Thank you for this message and every other message.  Thank you for every ounce of kindness, appreciation, and affection you spend my way so often. To be with you is a piece of joy in my life.
