WhatWhat can I say to show you my love on this holiday, that wouldn't be cliché? Well this isn't my best, but I hope it's enough to get you through to next Valentine's.
My woman warrior
well-mannered or wicked,
depending on your audience,
whether respectable or dickheads.
The latter is attracted to you
it seems, on your crusade,
to give voice to the just and logical,
in your own way, unafraid.
On twitter and facebook
and even wordpress,
your erudite speeches flow out
as if only caressed
Responsible and caring,
helping all your friends and family,
always listening to your boyfriend,
whether on guitar or just rambling.
Staying up all night to talk,
(or is it for the memes?)
Answering my calls early mornings,
to tell me about your dreams
These distances that divide us,
Are physical and real,
but these moments that unite us,
still lay naked how we feel.
When a camera is as close
to kissing you as I'll get,
I better get a haircut soon,
I better look my best.
But I know our love is beyond
mere appearances.
Greater than 8,000 miles
Including past and future tenses.
Whatever lies before us
is bound to exceed the past.
I hope you'll always love me.
I hope you'll be my last.

You've been too good to me,
my woman warrior,
for all the world to see.
Love,
