A letter from Apr 27, 2025

Hi, my love. By the time you read this, miles will stretch between us — more than either of us ever wanted. (at least I hope<3) But before time does what it always does, I wanted to trap this feeling, this moment, this version of us - somewhere safe, somewhere timeless. Ruby... you have changed my life. You didn’t just step into it — you illuminated it. Like a song that plays when the world goes quiet, your presence has filled every empty space in me with sound, with color, with warmth I didn’t know I was missing. From the first poetic word that slipped from your lips, I knew there was something different about you. You don’t just speak — you create. You build worlds with your voice, and you leave behind echoes that stay with me, long after you’ve walked out of the room. The music you make… Goshh, Ruby, it’s not just sound. It’s the way your soul whispers. It's like hearing a storm dance and a sunrise sigh, all at once. The way your hands bring life to melody, the way your heart threads itself into every note — I could listen forever and still find something new to love. You’ve been through so much. And still, you rise — every day. You carry so much, and yet, you never let it harden you. You are the strongest woman I have ever known, and it humbles me, constantly. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you — this beautiful, defiant force of nature who keeps pushing forward no matter what tries to hold her back. Being with you has taught me that love isn't always loud. Sometimes it’s in the quiet, in the soft laughter at 2am, in your sleepy voice singing under your breath, in your fingers wrapped around mine when words aren't enough. I’m scared, Ruby. I won't lie. 1500 or so miles feels like a lot. But I also know this: what we have is real. And it’s worth fighting for, worth holding onto, worth every aching mile. So wherever you are when you read this — in the studio chasing dreams, under a Texas sky missing home, or maybe just feeling far away — I want you to remember: I love you. More than distance. More than time. And I always will. Forever holding you in my heart, the love of my life, and hopefully the love of your life<3
