Bestest

He was full of it!

Full of everything I loved.

Words and thoughts, stories and ideas, books and poems and everything that I loved.

I fell in love with his stuffing!

And for the longest time that was all there was.

Just this beautiful, rich, amazing stuffing.

My imagination gave him form, but none of that was real!

I did not know the color of his eyes, or even how many he had.

I did not know what he stood upon, or if he stood at all.

Except on that stuffing!

And that was more than enough for me.

So all the rest has been icing, a veritable feast for the soul.

Whose main course is always his stuffing.
