An Ode to No One

We met on the eighth day of the week,

The 30th of February

She had a face you can't quite remember,

but a presence you won't soon forget.

We talked about music.

We talked about art.

Over coffee I asked her to tell me her name.

She smiled sweetly and said,

"I'm No One."

From that day forward

I slept next to No One.

I'm perfect for No One

and only No One could love me, just like I love her.

The time soon came

(as time often does)

for me to make No One my bride.

We settled in a town called Nowhere

on a street called Never

in a house with a white picket fence

with a dog called Not.

We have big future plans,

and I will be the father of No One's children.

For better or worse.

Till Death do us part.

No One and me.
