CUTE NEW COUPLES SUCK!

So I was on the phone with my wife earlier tonight, and she was telling me about about this new couple that we both know. I'm sitting there listening to her tell me how they were sooo romantic. You know how new couples act. It's disgusting sometimes :)  Anyway I was listening to her tell me how he got her flowers and how she was so surprised and I started thinking.......I CANT HAVE THAT SHIT!!!
 Lol! I can't have her looking at another couple wishing we were like them. So, I believe its time. Time to hit her with the romance, starting with this post. A short story.

Eh eh ehhm. ( Btw, that's supposed to be me clearing my throat. ;)

Let the romance begin.


Its Monday morning. 9 am. I awake in my bed.

I think to myself, "I should get up. As usual there's a lot I have to accomplish today. Time to take a shower and start my day, but wait a sec.............somethings wrong. I feel a little off today." I shrug it off, get out of bed, go the bathroom to...well ya know... I slowly trample down to the kitchen and begin to drink a glass of water. But as I slowly drink the water, I think to myself...hmmm that's weird, why does the water taste like that? Huh, maybe it's just because it's a Monday morning. Everything probably taste weird. Immediately I remember, oh yeah I haven't prayed yet. 

I go back upstairs to my room, get on my knees and pray. I find it harder to focus this morning than usual. My mind wanders and I can't seem to find peace. I finish praying, get up and start getting ready to take a shower. I realize I have a whole day planned and I have to get started. I move toward the bathroom and find that my body feels foreign. It's slow and sluggish. I fight through it, ignore it and get ready to take a shower. Interestingly enough as soon as the water hits me, it feels ice cold. So cold it burns. I quickly turn the knob to change the temperature, but no matter which way I turn it, it only gets colder. I decide that I'll just quickly take a shower, and get it over with.

After I finish drying off, I begin to brush my teeth and I suddenly realize why the glass of water I drank seemed a little off. It was the same reason why the toothpaste was off.

My mouth wasn't registering the taste. No that wasn't right. There was a taste, but it was strong. Impenetrable, yet empty. And it blocked everything else.

No matter how hard I scrubbed or how much toothpaste I used, the foreign taste remained. It was the taste of void. A nothingness that held my taste buds in a tight embrace. By this point I knew I should have been worried but once again I just shrugged it off. I began to put my clothes on, and although it was my favorite shirt and pants, something came over me yet again. I took the clothes off. Deciding that they weren't what I wanted to wear that day. I looked in my closet and although I had a compendium of clothing, nothing seemed to look right. I finally decided to wear my most expensive shirt and pants. Those clothes always made me look great....except for today. Today they seemed like old, dusty rags.

Finally, I grabbed my keys and headed for the front door, intent on starting my day regardless of how I felt. When I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was sitting on the sill of an open window next to the front door. My hand paused on the door knob. I looked at the thing sitting on my windowsill, and it looked at me.

It was a raven.

A small beautiful raven. It looked at me as though it knew me. It had wisdom in its eyes, and a strange calm that was almost unnatural. The way it looked at me should have freaked me out, and if that didn't, what happen next should have. It spoke to me. It said, "Don't u want to know?" I froze with my hand on the door knob and decided to do the only thing I could think of. I answered back, "Don't I want to know what?" The raven looked at me intently and said, "Don't u want to know why?"

It tilted it's head to the side and said to me, "Your skin, it burns ice cold. It is a reflection of your heart when she isn't near you. Your mouth, it tastes of void. It is because only the fiery passion of her kiss can melt away the emptiness within. Your mind, it wanders and holds little peace. It is because she embodies safety. Security. You think your clothes are inadequate. It is not your clothes, it is you. For she is apart of you, and without her, you are inadequate." I looked at the raven, comprehension evident on my face. I ask, "Who is she?" The raven replied, "You know who she is. She is a gift." I say to myself, more so than to the raven, "Yes, she is. A gift from God. A glimpse into heavens warm embrace. She is my heaven on earth. I need her more than the I could have ever imagined. Where is she raven?" The raven replied, "On the other side of this door. When u awake, remember this: take care to cherish this gift. For it is not given to many." I decided that for a raven, he was pretty wise. I said "I will. Today, tomorrow and always."
As I finished the sentence I walked through the door and woke up.

It was Monday morning. 9 am. I looked to my right and saw her sleeping next to me. I wrapped my arms around her, and held her tight. At that moment I decided that today, the only thing that mattered, was her.
