I sent your gift through soap and suds Looks battered and short shrift The smile on your face The sureness of your grace While I was throwing duds I dropped a pendant, a symbol of trust Still pondering where it might have went You seem disappointed Though not afflicted As I sat there and cussed I broke a picture frame, Shattered the glass As I hid away, and in you came A long pause and awe Your open-wide jaw I felt like such a ******* You take pity on me nonetheless and shrug it off You say, “It’s okay” As others stand around to scoff While you relieve the distress of my dismay What a person, so loving That is why I hold them so close Everyone else, pushing and shoving When I was the one you chose

Doesn’t matter
