A-Plus

directions:
(warning: not for
the faint-hearted.)

brush the wisps of hair
from her crinkled brow.

tell her you will
protect her
severed heart with
yours.

guide her down
overgrown paths,
but do not lead her on.

stroke her hair--
as it reflects the sun,
tell her she is beautiful.

remember how much it takes
for her to say sorry,
and that she means it.

praise her often--
insecurities have woven a
thick screen of distrust
across her mind.

communication is key.
keep secrets with her,
not from her.

tell her your birthday wishes.
she cares too much to
prevent them from coming true.

let her into your heart.
then you can start to
make hers better.

congratulations.

:)
