To my watermelon tree

Disappointed to say the least. Last night you gave me the impression that dreams REALLY DO come true. You made me sing Mr. Rogers songs and "I can see clearly now." You couldn't pry the smile off my face with a Mach truck! I felt like I was flying so high NASA couldn't even bring me down, then you walked in tonight with her. It reminded me of how fragile my heart was. So I am declaring all the feelings that I have held inside for the last 7 years.
I've watched you forever, from inside off and on, but mostly from afar, and it amazes me that to this day just the simple sound of your voice, the reference to your name, and that precious smile of yours gives me butterflies. It reminds me of what my mom used to say: "Don't eat the watermelon seeds or a watermelon tree will grow in your stomach." I take your bait that now seems like seeds.
I lived everyday when we were together as if it were our last. And I find it comical that with all your imperfection I cherish the ground you walk on. I have a mental image of you on the dance floor in slow motion with a heavenly glow around you. I can't believe what I'm willing to deal with just to have you in my life... friend or lover. I believe you are my soul mate and I do and always will love you.
