I covet little papers
Adorned with your precise handwriting
Conveying adoration
Enumerating my suitability.
I covet little papers
You laugh at the saccharin sentimentality
Contrived emotionality
of your romantic immaturity
I covet little papers
Embarrassing legacy of first feeling
Precious pieces of paper
declaring what is now history
I covet little papers
memories of what was dreamt of then
A future that came true
Recorded for posterity
I covet little papers
of what you declared so long ago
promises then are the actions
of our long domesticity.

Very nice! Would write more, but thunderstorms and tornadoes all around…must shut down.

There’s a poem in that comment!
So sweet. The title “Paper Love” just says it all 😉
Yeah. Hubby is embarrassed by his gushing back in those early days, but I like them. Whenever I come across them, they make me like him even more. lol

I just love the phrase “I covet little papers.” This is a good poem overall, though!
I cherish the ones I have, and when I think of them, I covet more of them! 🙂
Haha 🙂
