    "I tell them that she has a walk that can make an atheist believe in God just long enough to say 'Goddamn'." So amazing ohmy

    I love the little smile that plays on his lips for less than a second when one of his lines gets a great reaction from the audience.

      carmella1o1 , maybe those was the only words he could muster, just so he could be that much closer to u... I truly can appreciate a woman guarded... Especially, with ur heart... Just remember to leave an opening in the wall ur building, for someone with he right words, and maybe just enough of a promise that he will protect ur heart in place of he wall that once stood around it... Don’t be afraid to give a good guy a chance... He might just surprise u!!! GOOD LUCK KID, AND ENJOY ALL OF LIFES PLEASURES! (even the ones that hurt like hell. Those r the ones we grow from...)

    Transcript: I was told the average girl begins to plan her wedding at the age of 7
    I was told that she picks the colors and the cake first
    About the age of 10 she knows the time and the location
    By 17 she's already chosen a gown and a Maid of Honor
    By 22, she's waiting for a man who doesn't break out in hives
    When he hears the word "commitment"
    Someone who doesn't smell like a band-aid drenched in lonely
    Someone who is more than a temporary solution to the empty side of the bed
    Someone who will hold her hand like it's the only one that he's ever seen
    To be honest, I don't know what tuxedo I'll be wearing
    I have no clue what my wedding will look like
    But I imagine that the woman who pins my last name to hers
    Will butterfly down the aisle like a 5-foot promise
    I imagine that her smile will be so big that you will see it on Google maps
    And know exactly where our wedding is being held
    See the woman that I plan to marry will have champagne in her walk
    And I will get drunk on her footsteps
    When the pastor asks me if I take this woman to be my wife
    I will say yes before he even finishes the sentence
    I'll apologize later for being impolite but I will also explain to him
    That our first kiss happened six years ago and I've been practicing my "yes"
    For the past two-thousand, one-hundred, and sixty-five days
    When people ask me about my wedding, I really never know what to say
    When they ask me about my future wife, I always tell them
    That her eyes are the only Christmas lights
    That deserve to be seen all year long
    I tell them, that she has a walk that can make an atheist believe in God
    Just long enough to say "Goddamn", I tell them
    That if my alarm clock sounded like her voice
    My snooze button would collect dust
    I tell them, that if she came in a bottle
    I would drink her until my vision is blurry
    And my friends take away my keys, I tell them
    That if she was a book, I would memorize her table of contents
    I would read her cover to cover, hoping to find typos
    Just so we could both have something to work on
    Because aren't we all unfinished, don't we all need editing
    Aren't we all waiting to be read by someone
    Praying they will tell us that we make sense?
    She don't always make sense, but I swear to God her imperfections are the things that I love about her the most
    I don't know when I will be married
    I don't know where I will be married
    But I do know this
    Whenever I'm asked to describe my future wife
    I do so as best as I can
    And every single time, she sounds a lot like you
    And every single time, she sounds a lot like you.

    my girlfriend sent me this, and I’m just amazed. I’m so happy to have finally found someone I’m so in love with and she appreciates every part of me. To have found someone with the appreciation for grouping words in the upmost elegant way that slips off the tongue like the sweetest honey. I hope to god she never lets go of this knotted rope that keeps our finger intertwined, the rope created with each other’s love and words and silence. The most comfortable rope to have touched your skin, this rope that keeps you warm and welcomed. This rope that you never, ever want to let go of.

    I wrote this a while ago. Since everyone here is obviously interested in poetry, maybe you can tell me what you think.
    Winter awakes to see the world dying,
    Flowers withering and leaves falling in rains of gold,
    And thus to honour the dead,
    She turns the world white.
