To the Prichard
Family,
This is an
application to date and eventually marry your Steven. I know what
you're thinking. “They're too young, they don't know what they
want,” but I know that I want Steven forever. I've known this for a
while and I promise you that I will be an excellent addition to your
family.
Steven is a
wonderful man and I've loved him for as long as I've known him. He
was my first kiss and really the first boy I ever had heavy feelings
for. If you were to ask us about how we met, however, I have to
honestly say that I don't remember. He's just always been there. I
don't remember our first encounter, but I can tell you we performed
in Once Upon A Mattress together and we were in the same creative
writing class.
The thing about
Steven that makes him stand out from the other people I've dated is
that I know for a fact that he loves me just as much as I love him.
Every chance he gets, he makes a point of telling me he loves me and
how beautiful I am. That's something I've never had before and he
always makes me feel really good about myself.
Yeah, he teases me
and makes fun of me, but it's how he shows me he loves me. And it's
okay because I love him too. Like, for real, he's really mean to me
but I don't care because I'm crazy about him.
I've never felt
this way about anyone ever. It's always been Steven and it always
will be.
To soften the blow,
I've decided to give you a list of my positive attributes so that you
will welcome me and know that I'm not completely crazy.
- I go to Towson University, where I'm studying to be an English major. What am I going to do with an English BA, you ask? I have no idea.
- I like to write short stories and I've been working on a novel since before I even met Steven (so, like, 5+ years?). So that's probably what I'll do with that English degree.
- I have green eyes. Green eyes are the rarest color of eyes and I think that makes me pretty unique. And, Steven likes them, so that's a plus.
- I make my bed every day, and my mom doesn't even have to tell me to do so.
- One of my favorite things to do is read, so I've got a pretty wide and pretentious vocabulary. I wasn't sure if that was considered a good thing or a bad thing, so I figured I'd throw it in just in case.
- I like to pretend I can sing, and I do it often. So music will always fill the space if I have anything to do about it.
- Sleeping is one of my favorite things to do. That may make it seem like I'm lazy, but sleeping is necessary for your body to function every day. So really, I'm just being health conscious.
I'll stop there,
mostly because I can't really think of anything else. 7 is a pretty
solid number, I think.
But I promise to
love Steven forever until the end of time. I truly believe that
there's one person for everyone and Steven is my soul mate. So, if
you could, please, accept this application for dating Steven. I love
him so much my heart hurts.
I fell for him hard
and I fell for him fast. And that was 3 years ago. Somehow I'm still
mad for him after all this time and all that we've been through. And
we've been through a lot. But I love him with every fiber of my
being, and I promise to continue to do so for as long as I'm alive.
Thank you,
Megan Clark
