i know he is
secure and safe.
your mother will not shudder
when you bring him to
dinner dressed
in a suit and tie, and
he will know how to start a fire
in the fireplace without looking

you can marry him
in a church and not feel
God glaring
down at you.but please know that
i will always laugh
at that video you love of
the guy with the cup feet
no matter how many times you

your name in it.
we are so much alike that
i sometimes wonder what
part of me doesn’t have a piece
to match up with you.everything i am is another
heart on my sleeve:

because they are everything
he is not, and
he has you.
