“and you
— not the you
from now — the you
from when you were
only a vague
vision through
my third
optic
the you
who would
be the only being
to accept me for me
— broken brain
faults and all
one who regardless
— no matter how insane
would stand by my side
that was the night
i ordered the deep-fried
mars bar — with my first
delectable bite i knew
i had to scribe
you a letter
— you know me
how much i live
to write — i\’d finally
sorted the words
i\’d sought after
that delirious
first bite
i couldn\’t believe
anything would taste
so ridiculously
yummy
finally — i was able
to permit
my ink to flow
upon an ivory
handmade
parchment
you\’ll probably
never read
to my dearest
future husband…
i had no idea
of who you were
but wanted to reach out
just the same
yes — i do realize
it sounds — completely insane
to address this man
who will be such a large
part of my future
but not part
of my present
nevertheless
my heart
ached for you
not a superficial yearn
but one that gained
in strength from
my core
and yes — i also know
it\’s quite the heavy thought
to be paired with a deep
fried mars bar
and half litre of blush
wine that was ordered
not only for whimsy
but love
of chocolate
which filled
the gaps
while
i
waited
for
you
to
finally
enter
my
l
i
f
