A is for Almighty
I stole this idea from Kat
I was cleaning my bookshelf when you tumbled into my lap — when we tumbled into my lap. Me wrapped around you wrapped around me. You in my hat and me in your shirt, traveling out of the same suitcase by that time it seems. I can't say for sure what book you fell out of, though I'm leaning toward The Depths of Jesus Christ — the depths of the Almighty being one of the many things we plumbed that summer. I stood, afraid to touch you now (as then), relenting as your eyes twinkled up from the floor, because then (as now) I could never leave you lying alone. You remain a stack of unopened letters, a list of unanswered calls, a lonesome, persevering picture shoved inside a book I know by heart.

I kind of want to steal this idea, too, only I want to come up with a curse word for each letter and why I love it.
