At the moment you are beside me
As you read I hope you feel the depth of joy I feel every time I am blessed with your shape embroidered to my legs like the most intricate piece of cross-stitch I've ever seen
I am beginning to worry you will be embarrassed to be displayed next to such a ramshackle patchwork quilt
Threads so new and bright
Meticulously placed with attention and care
My stitches old and undoing in several spots
My patches come in many colors
Are randomly placed in a smorgasbord of different patterns
We clash worse than diamonds and driftwood
But I realized being shown next to me only exemplifies your perfection
And something clicks in brain
Maybe THAT is why we're so good together...

And something clicks in brain
