To: My Sweetheart, My Love, My Dearest Friend
To: my sweetheart, my love, my dearest friend,
My favorite day this summer was any with you,
And though I didn’t want this summer to end,
I think I’ll have fun at college, too.
While I’m away, I’ll write and I’ll send
Letters of love and of things that I do.
I’m a little sad, but my heart will mend
Because the days until I return are really quite few.
Some days are good; others are not.
I am here for you any time, any day,
Whether the weather be cold or hot,
Just say the word, and I’ll be on my way.
It will take two hours so I don’t get caught
In a speed trap by a cop who will probably say,
“You’re driving too fast; this ticket will cost a lot.”
But then I’d see you, and all would be okay.
Your smile, your, laugh, and your eyes-
Just a few of my favorite things about you.
So I suppose that it is no surprise
Why I feel the way that I do.
You saw past my mask and ridiculous lies,
Helped me overcome addiction and become someone new-
Someone less afraid to spread her wings and fly,
And maybe even someday say, “I do.”
