My dearest love, My Heart:
2-11-18

Good morning, my love. Woke from another night of dreaming. I sometimes dream of jaywalking across "K" Street, I did last night. We did it so often in our youth then we didn't even think about it. I got a ticket once for jaywalking across "7" Street from the chicken house to the arcade. You can't jaywalk on "K" Street now. It's a walking mall up to 12th, I think. I can till remember when it was a two-way street. They changed all the downtown streets to one ways in 1960. I know there is life beyond the city lights and sounds. There are big towns and small towns, beaches, coastal shores, piny woods, and mountains. I do dream of visiting all of them with you.

But these city sidewalks are where I remember you the most. The smile on your face when I first met you at Harts. Then there was your laughter resonating off the buildings and store windows, filling the night sidewalks with happiness and love. Many times we would walk from Harts to the bus station and back again, looking for one friend or another. How many times did we walk out to 54th Street in the morning hours, sometimes in the rain, just to walk back downtown at night?

I know we had nothing then, but we had us. And we had our families and friends. And I always remember being happy. Just thinking about you today brings back that happiness.

I know that I'm going to die in prison, but as long as I have your love, as long as I have your memories, as long as we share our dreams, I will be able to carry on with a smile. You, as the dream who keeps my heart racing, the one who has always brightened my smile, I love you.

❤ I'll love you always ❤
❤ Forever and ever, ❤
❤ Your Steve ❤
