All the letters I can write
Are not fair as this -
Syllables of Velvet -
Sentences of Plush,
Depths of Ruby, undrained,
Hid, Lip, for Thee -
Play it were a Humming Bird -
And just sipped - me -
Sue, listen to me. I love you... And I love you more than anyone or anything on Earth, and you need to know that so deeply that you never doubt it. You need to know it in your bones. And if it takes me telling you every single day for it to sink in that deep, then I’m gonna do that. Because you are my everything, Sue. I can’t live without you, I can’t breathe without you, and I can’t write without you.
