College Memos

Thank you for being the reason I am writing this.
And I know what you're going to say—
Antoinette, you're too sentimental.
Yes, I am. Too sentimental for my own good
but darling, you make me so

Good.

Good.
The kind of good that makes me unafraid to smile
with crooked teeth.
You will make fun of it
but you will love it as well
as you capture my mouth with your tongue and

Bite.

The kind of good
that makes intellectual banter the type of sexy
word foreplay.
I like being on the top,
but you like having the last

Laugh.

The kind of good
when you tell me goodnight on the phone
and when I hang up, you're still there
talking about silly theories about myself
but you're still

There.

Brad, you make knowing me not pitiful but

Beautiful.
