what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

Replying to quoting Steven Duong who, who said...

“This is a sort of old-fashioned love poem. Like my favorite writing in this vein, it plainly expresses longing, makes a number of grand romantic gestures, and attempts to imagine a warmer, more beautiful future. I wrote it during a particularly miserable stretch of long distance with my now fiancée in the winter of 2021, and added the line about meeting in Grinnell while revisiting an old draft earlier this year, just after we got engaged. I wanted that little mention to feel, just for me, like a nod from the future speaker, affirming the success of his exercise in wish fulfillment.”
