I had to work tonight,
But since I didn't have
Too much homework,
I decided to start writing something
That I'd be able to read you.
I spent an hour on poems,
Until I took the narrator,
Gave her a name,
And wrote a prologue.
I had to text you
And tell you the good news.

"Wait, you told me today?
And I have to wait
Until next Tuesday?"

You didn't text in italics,
But I imagined you speaking that way.

"I'm sorry,"
I replied,
"But would you rather
Have me ruin the surprise?"

There was a long pause
Before you responded again.
"You have a good point.
But I'll bug you about it
Every day until Tuesday!"
