I searched for
girls that like girls
within 50 miles of me
have dogs
under 5'2"
not white
and there you were
a big fluffy white dog in your arms
I met you in a sushi bar
I talked and talked
while you smiled

you always smelled like home
something I had searched for my entire life
someone to laugh with until we'd cry
to say I love you
every time we get off the phone
to kiss and snuggle in the morning
to watch survivor marathons with

you appeared unexpectedly
big eyes like a puppy
brown hands on white skin
how could there ever have been a more perfect love
