When I met you, I hated you
I wanted to go back and live with my parents
But the die had been cast
That first summer was hot and hard
I would soak a towel and stay in bed
with the fan on and wonder how I ended up with you.
You smelled bad
dog shit
wet cardboard
Somewhere along the line i fell in love with you
despite your ridiculousness
I spent a good winter with you
and was prepared to spend another
But you have to leave me
and I am sad
I will remember you and love you always
