Volumes of Love: He’s a Poet

Mr. Library has always had a way with words when you really let him think about it.  One of the first gifts he ever gave me as my boyfriend was a poem about how he was so excited to be dating me (it came in a heart box!).  I still keep it in my special things box and read it every once in a while.  His poems are beautiful, funny, and completely melt-worthy.

Being the romantic-in-the-rough that he is, Mr. Library decided to take advantage of the two weeks we had before our wedding and set a goal.  His project was to write me a new poem every day about how much I meant to him.  I was surprised that he was going to try to write a new poem for every single day, especially with how crazy our schedule was liable to get (and did get), but I was excited to see what he could come up with.

Each poem was unique.  They all had something to do with what had happened that day or the day before, depending upon when Mr. Library wrote it.  Even on days when we were stretched to the limit, like when we were off to Friend A’s wedding in Portland, he found a way to create a special poem for me.Each poem is dated and I have put them away in my “to-be-scrapbooked” basket in our apartment.  I want to put them all together in chronological order so I can keep them together forever and show our possible future children how adorable their father was before our wedding.

Mr. Library truly outdid himself with this project, and I couldn’t be more thankful for it.  True to his word, he wrote a poem every single day before our wedding and even had Groomsman D deliver one and read it out loud on our wedding day.

That Mr. Library… he’s a catch!
