Dear Darby

Don't worry my mom doesn't like me either but she does love me and she will love you too.

I don't want you crying at work and I don't want you crying before we sleep. I want your arms to be smooth and I want you to stop thinking about the times love has ended and havoc has filled its spot. Rremember what it was like at the wedding what its like when people in love dance, people in real love who care about each other.

Yesterday you said you thought its most sad to be alone, at least forever.

I love the way you talk, and walk, even if its with a limp sometimes.

I love your hair and when I hold it in my hands.

I love your eyes, when I look in them I go back to the creek behind logans house, where we played in the mud and climbed the trees, we discovered the world and I rediscover it in your eyes.

I love your mind, I love your mind, its a seemingly endless amount of memory, of knowledge, of growth. You are 10x smarter then me and I love it.

I love hiking with you, and repelling, and climbing, and kayaking, and biking, and swimming, you are the only girl I have ever gone swimming with I think and I feel safer then ever.

You are blackberry gardens, you are rose pedals and rhino thorn nosed. You are McDonald cash registers, you are pickled name kids, you are three blocks away. You are clam chowder. You are 20 feet up. You are everything that made me smile. You are everything that makes me smile. You endless hours of cuddling and endless hours of hand holding.

This is a unfinished draft but I want you to know I love you, don't worry about the heart break, it is far from inevitable.


it's a blank page but somehow you are pictured here it's a empty hammock and somehow I still see you swinging my eyes are closed and...
