"I'm sad today" I complained to him
A smile spread through his words "I'm sorry, you need hot chocolate and spongebob"
Confusion colored the next faltered response "Huh?...what good is that"
There came that laugh I love so much "just trust me it works"
"i'm out of hot chocolate I informed him"
our conversation difted on guess the hot chocolate and spongebob idea has dropped
days later there was an ugly brown box waiting at the post office
"hmm" I muttered to myself
After twenty minutes of peeling tape off the flaps the dark four-sided cubby revealed its contents
...A box of swiss miss hot chocolate, the little marshmellow kind
A smile claimed my features laughter couldn't be stopped
"Adam you're such a dork I love you" I told him later
Now that he's away and tears like to invade
I keep a box on hand
And okay I confess sometimes I watch spongebob
It brings out the poet in me
"You inspire me to smile through the hard times" I stuffed in a P.S at the end of our last letter
"I love you" was his response

that is such a sweet story

Such beautiful expression in this write.Godspeed!Cy

It's the simple stuff we forget in life. I like the picture you painted.
