My M,

Always my M, but wouldn't it be better if I simply branded myself as yours? You aren't mine, but I am yours. There is so much of you in me, I don't recall which parts of me are actually mine and which parts I created for you.

Nobody calls me by my name, it is something I am mostly okay with. But when you call me by my given name, my entire first name, Lord have mercy, my name sounds like a piece of broken poetry. I don't know why I was named what I was named, but when you call my name and follow it with something mundane like asking for gum or the time, I don't think any other name on earth would have suited me.

In another life, you'd call my name and then ask me to pass the salt, or the water from our bedside table or call my name and tell me that our son is calling for me. Never baby or honey or darling. They are beautiful nicknames for the love of your life, but you know me well enough to know that I prefer our names to nicknames.

I'll always love you, my M. I just need to figure out where to shelf these feelings so that they don't burn through me like a fever.
