imaginary lovers

i bought you a gift

for your

birthday.

it's shiny. i know how

you like shiny.

expensive too.

i spent hours at the mall

at the jewelers

looking

under the glass counter,

searching for

something that would

please you.

i'll keep the receipt

though, just in case it's

not to your liking.

maybe i'll have it engraved

with the date

and our initials.

one day,

i hope to meet you.
