November 17: Erik

Today, (and everyday... obviously) I am thankful for Erik.

I know that I have sprinkled his name throughout this entire blog and that he has already been in my first "thanks" post about family, the one about MN76, obviously these beautiful flowers were from him... and really like half these posts probably have his name or him in them. But I have yet to actually give him his own actual post completely dedicated just to him.

So, hunny, this is why I am thankful for you. 

(at least some of the reasons)

Trying to write a poem for the man I love,

My lobster... my best friend - is something much more

Easy... when it is said instead of being done.

There is much I could say about my one true love:

How much I care, respect, admire and adore...

But words can't express how I feel about you, hun.

Just come here... and let me shower you with kisses

Because when you hold me... you make me smile so big...

My heart flits... because it's overwhelmed with joy!

You lift my worries...and I'm the one... that misses

You most! I WIN! and I'll celebrate with a jig...

But words can't express how I feel about you, boy!

I'm thankful to know... that you'll always protect me

and in your arms... I'll feel most safe. Thanks to the skills...

I've seen in C.o.D: Black Ops... killin' zombie.

HUNNY! I'm thankful to know you'll always love me

I intended to be pensive... but rhymes needed fills...

And... words can't express... how I feel about you, baby!!

WHAT UP NOW, Emily Dickinson... 

your dashes are nothing compared to my ellipsis!

Ok, I really had intended my poem to be a "serious love poem" but I guess that this poem, in a way, reflects who we are. We can be serious, but its more fun to be silly... and that is what I love about Erik. That he plays the stupid games I make up to satisfy my competitive nature. 

And, honestly, there is so much that I can write about why I am thankful for Erik, but then I'd be telling everyone all the things that make my relationship special...  and I don't wanna do that. 

But I'm obviously thankful for him because he is the greatest boyfriend EVER

... and he's all MINE!

THANK YOU ERIK...

... for being you, 

I would have no one else.

I LOVE YOU!
