Because Tonight, I am Sappy.

Because Tonight, I am Sappy.
Pressed against my ear,
A sigh and breath away,
Is a body and a face.
For forty-five a month,
He speaks to me,
And it is well worth it.
So I wait, chest compressed,
Lumpy-throated and
Water-eyed in the dark,
Wishing you would warm
My left side besides,
Wishing you were here.
No bad poetry is worth this:
To be alone and lonely.
I curse the Writer's Muse. But!
For twenty years of some shadow,
It was exchanged for this:
Six months of sunshine.
Note this!:
For what was the former
Was not truly lacking.
But what is the now...
...That is surely an addition
Of the highest reward.
I shan't take it for granted.

I do that.
I write sappy stuff. :) It's cute though.

Awww... such pitiful sappiness. You and Jenni are sounding more and more alike everyday...
Whatever happened to the "Chick Compound" that you guys were going to start up?

The Chick Compound is not at odds with non-singlehood. It's not adverse to its members becoming non-single. It's useful and wonderful and great, but if you start dating, hooray. If, hooray too. :)
But yes. I am pitiful. Right here, yes. And yes. Although Jen is at least the more noble of the two of us because she semi-routinely affirms in writing her sappiness. I tend to deny and deny and not say much until the overflow in the tank starts gushing pitifully out into the room. then I'm double-skunked. :) Plus, it all depends on the occasion and the company, whether I feel like talking about being an occasional sap.

See, I'm like Jen.
Pah, feminine melting? That's a good one! HA!
... Helps to get it out occasionally though. See ya tonight. :)

I can't decide if that poem makes me desperately want a boyfriend or avoid such attachment at all costs. In either case, I love it. :-)
