the sweetest thing on earth is definitely sweet

To My Dearest Blue

I enclose in this envelope
A symbol of great importance.
Its meaning is deep
Which contradicts its size.
Now I only hope
That it fits its design.

This is for giving chances
To some fuckhead;
For finding love
On a second try;
For a birthday
On a favorite number;
For sharing drinks
To sneak a kiss;
For giving your trust
Absolutely to one person;
For dark secrets
That caused some tears;
For first times
On a living room floor;
For being John Malkovich
By walking through a door;
For animals that love you
And parents that trust you;
For using the piano
To perform lullabies;
For surprise birthday parties
That catch you off guard.

This is for everything
From car crashes to long drives together;
From our bed to our bed;
From teddy bears to little piggies;
From Adidas moves to tropical dreams;
From meeting between classes to meeting after school;
From ex’s to stalkers;
From fights to second chances;
From many doubts to a thousand reassurances;
From the Shire to the Golden Hall;
And Arwen to Johnny Depp;
From cowboys to hotsauce and other things in the south;
From passing two months to passing a year;
From first Valentines to first Christmases;
From salsa doritos to Chinese food;
From the ink of the pen hitting the paper to my tears drenching it.

This represents all of the hard times
And the struggles we’ve overcome,
And the support that we’ve given
Each other during those times.
This represents all of our past
That I can’t document here
And all of our future
That would take me many years.

~Edit~
To Myrtle Beach at sunset with our closest friends!
To composing music for movies!
To working for the FBI!
To beautiful wrinkles!
To grandchildren thinking we’re cool!
To living together!
To dying together!

I truly love you with all of my heart.
There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for
You, and I mean that. I believe what I
Have for you is truly unconditional
Love that will survive
Through perpetuity. I also believe that
If you too feel this on the worst of days
That we will never be deprived of
Each other’s love.

With the greatest of love,
TC

P.S The thing I speak of in the poem is a ring. I regret to say that I do not have it. I couldn’t find a ring in your size so it’s being refitted right now, and you will have it in about a week. I hope that doesn’t become a factor in your decision. I’m enclosing the receipt as proof that I didn’t pay too much. I hope to hear from you soon.

I love you,
TC
