An ode to Margarita…

*(Please read all the way through)

My dear Margarita,

Until I met you

Never had my lips been so touched,

Your very being stirred my soul.

Never had I been so awakened,

Your very sight brought me to life.

Never had a presence,

Caused such happiness in me.

Never had an appearance,

Given such splendor to a moment.

I had never known sorrow,

Until I ached from your distance.

I had never known devotion,

Until you tested my faith.

Never had I thought of love,

And known it to be true.

Never had my heart been lost,

Until I met you…

My Pizza Margarita…

Our favorite pizza place, Mimmo’s, is closed on Monday’s… I can hardly stand the thought…
