Plan of Attack

Look here, Baby,
this is our one shot
at storming the castle and
building a real fort -

together we'll ready the troops
(popcorn, candy, and soda)
and march on into war.

Look here, Baby,
this is our one shot
to own the remote
and choose our seats first -

so let's get moving,
approve the plans,
draw the maps,
and head out. 

A Thousand Blank Pages

"I've only ever wanted to give you a better chance than I had," you whispered as you kissed my sleeping forehead and left. Then you woke up to an empty room flooding itself with regret.

"It's not too late yet," the tears on your pillow gently nudged. 

The First Date's Special

Let's try something new today, something neither of us has ever done before. We could sit in the park and converse only in song or grocery shop poetically, or go door to door telling strangers what we love about them. But whatever we do, let's make it count, okay?

Dividing up the Belongings

Did you have the time to love deeply?

Playing Cards Face Down

I often wish I could read your mind. 

Pictures With Strangers

I'd love to laugh and joke with you so long as you'd enjoy it. Let's use today to live a little. 

In Your Absence They Shine

Baby, you're the reason every remaining star ever seemed dim. 

May the Young and Happy be Blessed

Here's a toast to one year down and a billion more dreams to go. And congratulations on the beautiful new adventure that awaits you and your new born family!

21 on the 21st!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the time you have - even if it's something little, make the most of it.

You are a great embodiment of this advice, I hope you had a wonderful birthday today!

Afternoon Outings to the Mall

Spend more time with friends. It's good for you. You'll be happier in the end. Spend more time with friends.
