ADVICE TO DEXTER RED AT NINETEEN AND ONE MONTH: 1. The last time you'll see him you guys will have sex, he'll tell you that he misses you. You'll have had him over to help you pack, you were near break down over the eviction and move. You'll tell him about the new boy that you want to be your boy. You'll fight a little over it. Scream, make up in a few minutes. Go for a walk to get food and start fighting, he'll scream at you and he will say "Goodbye D., this is the last time you'll ever see me." You'll say "fine, it's about time." He will spin to his left and walk away towards the subway. You will go and buy a burrito. He'll be dead in less than a month. Now that you know this, don't fight with him. Instead, lay down with him, your arm around his body, play with the loose skin on the ends of fingertips, tell him he needs to stop picking his fingers. Lay your head next to his, your chin on his shoulder-- like a dog's head on a table. Tell him that he's beautiful when he is happy and excited. Tell him that he saved your life so many times. Hold his hands and lay on his back.
