Girls creator, writer and actress Lena Dunham has shared a love letter she wrote to her boyfriend, Jack Antonoff.
The star made the move as part of artist Miranda July’s We Think Alone project. The love note was written in October of last year, while she was in India.
She writes:
“Dearest Baby, I’m trying to keep a journal on this trip. Historically I have done really poorly with a journal. The idea of writing without an audience seemed futile at best and like bad voice over on a cancelled ABC show at worst. When I was little I left my journal out, open for my parents to find… But somehow my book makes every piece of writing feel as though it has an eventual home (maybe that’s how your album feels?) and gives record-keeping a kind of fullness it never had before.”

She later says:
“I was walking through a beautiful Indian garden this morning (Lodi garden! The oldest in the city!)… and passed a big green pond with a dozen disorderly swans.
“All the old people in my party were cooing about the swans but I was focussed on this young couple, late tweens or early twenties, curled up on a bench talking really animatedly.
“And I thought of you, like always, and I felt I could spend four days on a bench with you and it wouldn’t be enough time to hear all the stories you have to tell– I literally want to know everything you have ever seen and what you felt like while you were seeing it. And I will be so much better my whole life for knowing those things.”
How cute!
