What do I do to prove my worth and show my love for you? I might ride a mighty raging steed to defend my maiden’s honor. I could. Well, maybe not. I’m very bad with horses. I’d just fall off and bust my *** It would be a bit absurd. I could pick you every daisy, rose, and mum; every flower in the world. I could. And make a huge bouquet. But that would make you sneeze, I think and no one else has flowers. I could bring you down the moon and stars from their home up in the sky. I could. But where the hell would you possibly put them. Your closet can’t have near the room, and it’ll cause havoc in the tides. I could give you the beating heart from my chest to prove my endless love. I could. For truth, no—I don’t think I could. I kinda need it now to live and, well, frankly that’s really rather gross. I mean…yuck. How do I prove my love for you and convince you of my worth? I hold your hand. I hear your voice. I kiss your lips. I give you all my time. For such a love as you I could.

Impractical Love

Life is better if you embrace the absurd, I think. It can broaden the possibilities and sometimes make you smile.
