You should know I saw you again. Passing through Denver. Didn’t see me in the crowd, of course. Always too focused on the music. It was good, that’s good. Besides, I don’t look the same as I did the last time you came through Sacramento.
Some of us age, after all.
Whatever your secret is, you can keep it. You look far too sad for all that youth you have the moment those lights go down, even if you have everyone in the place mooning after you, same as always.
Back when you first left, I was so mad at you. I thought it was me, something I’d done. Even owning a club of my own wasn’t cool enough for you and you’d gone on to find something better than I could do, but seeing you again like this maybe it wasn’t. Maybe you just need to run and the staying in one place is what you couldn’t handle and not me.
Call me sometime, my number never changed. Miracle of technology, right? All that, our letters, and cat videos all in one little brick we keep in our pocket. Use it, if not with me then someone else that can tell those smiles on stage aren’t what you want them to be.

a letter to your OC from a companion they haven’t seen in years
Bridget,
