For the Love of...Simon


This is my friend Emma's cousin, Simon.
Emma showed me his picture and my chest felt funny.
I think I'm in love. I thought it would be a good idea to write him a love letter.
I hope he finds it...moving.

Dearest Simon,

i've seen you in your wellies...and i liked it. i liked it a lot.
I imagine you smell like buffalo leather, or something equally masculine.
Do you bathe in lava? Because you're red hot.
My gut tells me that you're going to like me 91%.
The 9% of iffiness will arise shortly after reading this letter.
Two hours later, that nine could increase to thirty...
but baby, don't let the numbers scare you.

What we could have here is magic. Just think about it.

but umm those arent wellies.. they are even more fabulous chunky socks with little tassliey sock holderupers.. like a man scout uniform... he is so yours!

Mary Beth said...

i know. initially, i saw the photo emma's phone. it was super dark and you really couldn't tell what was going on other than that angel face and tall, manly bod. i think i dig the super british tassel socks even more so than wellies.
