I hope you enjoyed the Prawn Crackers.
I am not a smart man, to steal a quote from a film you're yet to see.
Sometimes things do have to be glaringly obvious for me,
but when I know its there, whatever it may be, it will stick with me,
But you're wrong, they weren't just words on a screen.
they jumped out at me like embers from a wood fire.
without fail it will be the first thing I do when the sun breaks through my curtains,
"...paralyze my thoughts to see anyone as half as good as you...",
they help me get up and prepare for the day, give me the belief that everything isn't as shit as it seems,
this brilliantly witty, unbelievably pretty, incredibly intelligent girl feels the same way about me as I do about her,
"...You and I are all that matters..."
to see that you're having the slightest impact on someones life gives me the belief of knowing I'm actually doing something half decent for once,
righting the wrongs I made in the past with you,
We will one day paint those bloody teapots,
Graffiti them with the your genius idea of monster trucks and tits,
We will one day build my bed,
you laying in my arms and let the world fly past us,
We will one day build the fort,
because forts are fucking awesome,
I promise we will do these things, eventually,
"..But never have I experienced someone so, attentive, kind, sweet..."
You, you pulled me out of the spiral,
brought me back from the brink of delving even deeper into that pit of despair I know too well..
I know you're going to despise me quoting what you've written,
Your poems, your poems stick with me,
they help me, they make me feel better in myself,
They have had a bigger impact than you might think.
Not just words on a screen.
