things Ive prayed for

Oh Faith

I hope you are marvelously well...
I hesitate to ask, but can you let me know
that your alright when your able?

I know that Im silly...
but I cant help but worry abit.

(if you have time you can also
write abit about how much you miss me,
and what a terribly good idea it is for
me to come to see you ;)

sigh.

the grad was exceptionally good...
I am so proud of my sisters...
of my brother.
But I have to say
that
Im not sure how anyone could
think that they could seat my father,
my brother, and I together without
expecting some kind of a amusing scene.

Oh, I really do love you...
enough that lately its been making me abit nervous...
I know that some of my friends think it happened so quickly...
so easily...and thats true...mostly...
but this summer has been hard, hasn't it?
can I drop the coolness for a second to tell you
about the times Ive spent lying awake at night...
trying to work through my insecurities,
weighing the risk my heart is in...

it seems there would have been way fewer
of these tiny battles had we been together...
but I know, as I win each one,
Im becoming closer to the person I'd like you to marry...

alright...
as you know, your boy can talk forever
but I suspect that your reading this on some
tiny train interweb terminal with just minutes to spare.

may your day be lovely
