I remember my dad
told me that if I’m
going to drink and drive
I should throw
the empty out the window.

It’s the only time he’s okay
with littering.

I keep thinking about
how I wasn’t planning on
being here,
right now.
And I’m kind of annoyed
that I am because
I am still in pain.
So I’m sitting in my car
at the park,
looking up out of
the sun roof into the
leaves that become
bright green when the sun
hits them.

It is a beautiful day.
The first day of Summer.

They were spread out
in front of me
as I tried counting them
in twos.
I had already googled
what might happen,
but the results varied.
I swiped a few or more
off the counter
and took them quickly;

and then he called.

The rest of them are now
back in the bottle.

Some wounds
never fully heal;
they just get
bandaged really well.
But it could start
bleeding again
if you aren’t careful.

I have a man who
has never raised his voice
or insulted me once.
We don’t argue,
we disagree
and we always
both apologize.
He called me a goddess
once when I sent him
a naked photo,
and I didn’t feel
**** before.
He is gentle with
animals and kids
and me.
Our date nights
consist of lots of ****,
the Chinese buffet
and ***.
I am an early bird
and he is a night owl.
I am the storm, and
he is the rainbow
afterward.

I don’t know what
I’m doing
and neither does he
but I sure hope he wants
to keep doing it
with me.

I’m not sure if he
knows this,
and maybe I should
tell him
just in case,
but I am not going
anywhere.
He is the kind of man
women write about
in the bedroom.

Men who have had kids
and/or been married
should come with a
warning label
