Hey May.

I made you this. It isn't the same as being there, but it's the closest thing I know how to build.

Everything else is along the bottom.

I Our story

How we got here

Nine years of talking. Seven of them as us. I'd live every one of them again.

II The distance

The space between us

Lagosyou Nairobime drag to turn
—km about — miles
—days since I left
—hours since then

III Why you

Reasons, one at a time

Open them slowly. There's no hurry.

IV Us

Us, in pictures

Tap one to see it properly.

V A test

How well do you know us?

No score kept against you. Mostly.

VI Underneath

Scratch these

Rub the surface with your thumb until the message shows through.

VII Letters

Open when…

Save them. They're for particular nights, not just tonight.

VIII Sound

Two things to press play on

Headphones, ideally. It's better that way.

My voice

For the hard nights —

I miss you in a way I can't make smaller.

I keep counting things because counting is the only way I know to show you how large this is.

Write back

Tell me where you are and what you're doing. I'll read it and pretend I'm in the room.

Always yours,
