"Why the sad face Nora?" Mary Louise asked, noticing that Nora was looking down as she read from her poetry book.

"It's nothing really," Nora replied closing her book and pouting.

"Well I'm sure it's not nothing," Mary Louise said grabbing Noras hand and pulling her to her feet.

"It's just that we always outlive all the great poets," Nora said resting her head on Mary Louise' his shoulder. "We outlived Edgar Allan Poe, Langston Hughes, and Emily Dickinson. Now I finally found a new poet that I love, and it turns out he's 95 years old and I'm sure he'll be dead soon."

"Don't worry Nora. If it's poetry you what, it's poetry you'll get." Mary Louise exclaimed.

Mary Louise placed a kiss on Noras forehead and headed out to the public library. She knew that reading poetry was one of Nora's favorite things to do. Often times, Nora would read to Mary Louise her favorite poetry. Nora especially loved poetry that was about love. Therefore Mary Louise decided that she was going to become Nora's personal poet.

When she got to the library she bought a notebook from the bookstore and began to write poetry about their love. Mary Louise wasn't particularly great at writing, but she hated to see Nora sad and wanted to do something to cheer her up.

She stayed in the library for about four hours, pondering on how to make her thoughts come out on paper in a beautiful way. After hours of the erasing, tossing paper in the trash, and a number of librarians telling her to be quiet due to her pondering out loud, she finally came up with the perfect poem.

Mary Louise ran back home as fast as she could and saw Nora standing by the fireplace looking worried.

"Mare, I have been trying to call your cell phone all day." Nora said looking frustrated. "Where have you been?"

"Nora, there's no need to be sad about us always outliving all the great poets." Mary Louise announced.

"And why is that?" Nora asked crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Because you're looking at the next great poet, standing right in front of you," Mary Louis said. "And you'll never outlive me, because we'll be together forever."

Nora smiled at Mary Louise' announcement.

"Here is the first poem, of the many poems that you will receive everyday for the rest of your life."

Nora grabbed the notebook that Mary Louise handed her and read the poem that she wrote out loud.

When I look at your face you make me smile

I used to know a boy named Kyle

He was very tall and had many muscles

When he was in town he was always in the hustle

When he left town I really didn't care

Because that was the day you started calling me Mare

When we first met your heart was mine

You made me want to spend all my dimes

For you I would spend all my money

Just as long as I get to call you my honey

Nora burst into laughter after reading the poem.

"So do you like it or do you love it?" Mary Louise asked.

"I hate it," Nora said wrapping her arms around Mary Louise' waist. "But I love you."

Nora leaned forward and kissed Mary Louise passionately on the lips.

"Wait," Mary Louise said breaking the kiss. "So you're telling me that you didn't like the poem?"

"Let's just say that I love you a lot more than I love that poem," Nora said smiling, resting her head on Mary Louise' forehead.

"Hmmmm, I think I actually left something at the library." Mary Louise said. "I will be back in less than an hour."

Mary Louise ran out of the house. While she was gone, Nora decided to take the poem that Mary Lou wrote out of the notebook and put it in a frame so that she could keep it forever.

When Mary Louise finally came back, she had a huge smile on her face.

"What did you leave at the library Mare?" Nora asked.

"Nothing. I actually went to go do something else," Mary Louise confessed.

"Well, what did you do?" Nora asked squinting her eyes at Mary Louise.

"I just turn your current favorite poet into a vampire," Mary Lou we said smiling. "Now you never have to worry about outliving one of your favorite poets."

"How romantic of you," Nora smiled placing her hands on Mary Louise cheeks. "You are absolutely the best girlfriend in the world."
