One.
Hello.
I’m still in love with you.
Please call me.

Two.
I’m completely convinced that you don’t shower.
Like seriously, when I talked about bars and happy hour,
I meant soap
And the glorious day that your toenails are clean.

Three.
We were never meant to be.
Your body was too slippery for me to hold;
I did it anyway.
I’m still spitting out the fellatio
And the regret.

Four.
I fell in love with you
Like a ten-car pile-up.
We were messy like too much tequila
But you liked it that way.
I wish I could say the same.

Five.
You left me for a train wreck in progress
And expected me to swallow it like medicinal shrapnel.
No part of you was good for me.

Six.
My favorite part of you
Was your ears.
My mother tongue could leave you so many shades
Of broken
You’d hallelujah all the way to the night stand
And couldn’t sunrise back up.

Seven.
I was charmed by your accent.
I wish your face had matched.

Eight.
You were my favorite number.
But not my favorite fuck.

Nine.
You didn’t know how to use
All of your fingers.
I would lie and say that it’s fine,
But I don’t have enough Southern hospitality in me.

Ten.
Bless your heart.
 
Eleven.
They always said to never stick it in crazy.
Thanks for doing it anyway.

Twelve.
You helped me reach new heights
And for that I am grateful.
You are a peace
I cannot get anywhere else.

Thirteen.
God, I wish I had never met you.

Fourteen.
God, I wish I had married you.

Fifteen.
I’m sorry I never called you back.
I was too busy being afraid to admit to us.

Sixteen.
For the last time,
I will not include you in a threesome.
Someone once told me
To never stick it in crazy.

Seventeen.
So,
Wanna be in a threesome?

Eighteen.
Thanks for that story
I tell to warn girls about letting boys
Bite their lips.
(You know what I’m talking about.)

Nineteen.
I hate you.
I really, genuinely hate you.
You’re so fucking beautiful it makes me
Want to fuck you out of existence.

Twenty.
I haven’t seen you since second grade,
And I still want to sneak behind the tree line
And give you a huge
Bouquet of onion grass.

Twenty One.
I want to buy you flowers.
And chocolates.
And a yacht.

Twenty Two.
Would it kill you
To buy me flowers?
They’re like five fifty at Walmart!

Twenty Three.
It cost me too much
To wear my heart on your sleeve.

Twenty Four.
I’m still waiting for some of my things.
I’ve sent you my address.

Twenty Five.
What is taking you so long?

Twenty Six.
I have a greater appreciation for patience now.
I learned how to love you on the out breath.

Twenty Seven.
I know that you’re married.
I just want to know how married.

Twenty Eight.
If I could go on a first date with your voice,
I would sweat like a sumo wrestler
on top of Mount Vesuvius.

Twenty Nine.
We are so freaking awesome
The world is filing to sue us.

Thirty.
Remember that time you ripped my pants off in gym class
And let the world know that my balls hadn’t come in yet?
Thanks for that.

Thirty One.
You once told me
That you loved me for how
Mousey I was.
You were too many shades of
Closed-minded for my stomach to harvest.

Thirty Two.
You said that I would bring disgrace to your bloodline.
Challenge accepted.

Thirty Three.
Thank you for loving me,
even when I do not deserve it.

Thirty Four.
You asked me today
If I am happy.
The answer is
