-the peanut butter to my jelly-
[you can the peanut butter to my jelly,
you can be the butterflies i feel in my belly,
you can be the captain,
i can be your first mate,
you can be the chills that i feel on our first date]
ten! nine! eight! seven! six! five! four! three! two! one!
and with that, the huge colorful glass ball dropped in times square of new york city.
millions of people across the globe cheered at the top of their lungs, fireworks were lit and car alarms went off, but you still stood there.
in the middle of times square, in the middle of all the commotion of the new year, doing absolutely nothing at all,
holding your frappuccino that had gone cold since you bought it at starbucks a couple of hours ago.
wearing a bright new outfit that you had bought especially for today,
because today, today was the day you thought i'd be coming home to you.
from the war, from afghanistan, from all the danger, from all the loneliness,
but you just got a call from my lieutenant back in the middle east,
and he said that i had been killed in a suicide bombing.
which is true, i am dead, but i linger on earth as a spirit because i have unfinished business,
i just had to say bye to you and to say that i would love you forever.
and now, i watch you make your way through the crowd towards your car,
trying to stifle the sobs threatening to break out,
but in your eyes, i see determination, and i know that you will survive,
you will continue with your life.
so bye, massie block.
i, derrick harrington, solemnly swear that i will love you forever.
always remember that you are the apple to my pie, the straw to my berry, the smoke to my high, and the one i want to marry.
i'm sorry for leaving you like this,
please don't forget me.
