Where I'd Be without her
God Only Knows by Tom Horonzy
My Significant Other writing prompt entry

I searched the world over
for a perfect fit in a perfect shoe,
the impeccable cut of a three-piece suit,
the culminating fulfillment of a hole-in-one
and never found one of them.

That said, I'd rather be dead
than to live a day without you,
the perfect fit I missed
visiting the Florsheim store,
the haberdasher on Savile Row
and the swing needed to score an ace.

You are my personal cardiologist.
Incomparable in how you
filled the void in my heart
by exercising patience.
Caring and compassionate,
a friend, a lover
and problem solver,
lifting me when I fall down.

Life would be more difficult
without your positivity.
Calm, cool, and collective
leading by persuasion
hearing and listening
to what I have to say
as if it was important.
You begot the best of me,
I never knew existed.


Writing Prompt
Hearing the Beach Boys sing, I teared up thinking what my special person means to me. How do you feel about yours?

Recognized

Author Notes
Inspired by the title song of the Beach Boy, God Only Knows had me tear
thinking how my wife affected me personally.
Photograph taken by me at a friend's wedding.
