The Book of Love.

You have to wonder, sometimes, about loving people, and how easy it is.

People that have short, tousled haircuts that tumble when they speak too emphatically. People that decorate their rooms in dragons. People that could be famous. People that eat left-handed and bump your elbow. People that have girlfriends. People that have boyfriends. People that do all their checking online. People that never eat everything on their plate and always have to take it home. People that won’t admit they like watching Iron Chef. People that send you typewritten letters. People that are intrigued by fried Twinkies. People that stun you by their intake of rich chocolate. People that always invite you even if you rarely go. People that know all about you. People that never will.

My chin is up, and it’s almost springtime, and I know that everything will be all right, because I think I love you.
