Ergo, the Ogre

cannot imagine

a world without

your inescapable, reckless charm.

Without a doubt, my finest

hour was all about you and

being part of your life; a dangerous

secret — knowing all too well that we existed

only in my mind. If only “we” could have

had a chance before you fell in love with her

and without me. Until forever, my heart is yours.

I hold you close each night in my

sweetest (and wildest) dreams. When morning

comes and I awaken from

real life — our life —

my heart breaks

all over

again.
