You're Gold

This is a story for Crystal. She is the hidden treasure of my life.

                Sometimes I just want to just shout out.  Sometimes I just want to just tell you. I’m a man who was looking for some quarters in the dirt. I was poor and incomplete without the quarters, but the Wind doth blow them away and my eye caught on something far more beautiful. I found gold! I FOUND GOLD!

                I go to my friends and say, “Look at my gold!” I go to my family and say, “Look at her! Ain’t she beautiful?” Oh, why, I shout out to the world and say, “Look at her, I got Gold, ain’t it beautiful!” What I haven’t told you yet is no one . . . no one can have her. The gold is the treasure of my life. The gold is you . . . Crystal.

                Crystal, love of my life, I will not depart from you. You are the riches of all riches and I’m attracted to you. Though your deep black eyes lure me in and though your hair of sunshine attract me, I find your inner person much more beautiful. You are refined; your are the purest of all golds that I have seen. I will never trade you in for a lesser thing. No, I will keep you.
