Dear Love, I hope this finds you well.
 
I feel like telling the whole world
that I found a pretty girl
with a beautiful smile
and a lovely spark in her eyes

I feel like telling the whole world
that she loves poetry too
that she thinks I'm funny
and she says I have beautiful legs

I feel like telling the whole world
that she likes my cooking
she says my massages are nice
and she thinks I am intelligent

I feel like telling the whole world
that she thinks my erotica is nice
thinks my skin is beautiful
envies my eyelashes

I feel like telling the whole world
that she is the coolest nerd
and that she loves reading AF
She thinks Charles Bukowski was cool and stuff
and Maya Angelou was a God-sent

I feel like telling the whole world
that she ain't perfect
but she can pull heaven to come crumbling down
just so our daughter can smile and giggle and make all sorts of funny noises
and she can battle bugs all night to keep her safe

I feel like telling the whole world
that she is expressive
and don't get on her bad side
because she is really explosive too
but she has so much love to give

I feel like telling the world
to never stand between her and her wine
because oh God she will whine
as if 10 months without a sip
has been a sentence worse than hell

I feel like telling the world
that she is so beautiful
so talented
so easy-going
so lovely

But I will not tell them none of that
because they might steal you away from me

Dear love.
