August 1st, 2022: He's the Sweet, He's Tangy and He's the Freshness of a cool summer night.
"I don't drink anymore... I freeze it and eat is like a popsicle"- Dean Martin
Confidence walked into the room. I watched you stride into my apartment without hesitation as if you knew the place like the back of your hand. You were wearing a vest with a short sleeve shirt. You took a glance around and without a second thought, hung your vest on the wreath hook on my front door. I had left it up there for months, 6 months to be exact, too lazy to pack it away. If you had taken a moment to look around, you would have noticed that my calendar was still in December and one of my Christmas trees was placed, still in its box, on my floor. I remember you helped yourself to a glass of water, again without hesitation. It was as if you'd reached into the cabinet, hundreds of times before, for the same glass. Then you started tightening the loose knob on my kitchen cabinet because you said it bothered you when things were broken in your home... yet this was my home. As the weeks went by, the weather got warmer and every single time you wore the vest. Every time you walked in and hung the vest without hesitation on my wreath hook. I found it so delightfully funny and charming, that I started taking mental bets. Would you wear the vest? Would you hang it on my door? Would you ever ask me if I had a coat closet that was in fact only one foot away from where you so confidently hung your vest? I enjoyed this not because it was quirky like you but because there's something so comforting about the feeling of normalness. It's the feeling of home; a calmness, a collectiveness, a peaceful relinquishment of control where I don't feel as if you're a guest, but I just feel like you belong. So if you see this, just know...as the summer goes on and the vests keep being worn, you'll always be welcome into my apartment for a midnight glass of wine and a popsicle.
