HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, CHRIS


Happy Valentine's Day, Chris.
I hope you like my gift.
It took me forever
to find something I thought you
might like. I went to several stores,
But nothing perfect

for such an occassion until I saw the perfect
Red Sox hat for you. It's black leather, Chris,
with socks embroidered all around it. Got it from that store
you were telling me about. I told the sales guy it was a gift
for a friend, and that I don't wear hats. You
told me about this hat once before. It took them forever

to find your size. I want to have Chris and Shane forever
sewn in it. That would be perfect,
but I don't think you
would care for that, Chris.
I went to Dillard's to see about getting it gift
wrapped, but they only do it for shit bought out of their store.

I went to this one particular store
that sells nothing but urban fashion. It was G-Unit forever
in that place. Some of the stuff is pretty pricey. They do gift
wrap. I saw a shirt that I think you would look perfect
in. I can't wait to see the look on your face, Chris
when I give you this Red Sox hat. You

are going to look off the chain in it. But you
already know I think you look good in everything. That store
has a few outfits you might like. Tell your girlfriend, Chris
that you bought the Red Sox hat yourself. It took me forever
to get back across town from the mall. Is there a perfect
time we can get together so I can give you my gift?

I saw you the other night wearing that last gift
I bought, and I must say, you
looked fabulous with a capital FAB, or should I say perfect?
They told me at the store
that they were expecting to get more G-Unit in. I'm forever
looking for something I think you might like, Chris.

Chris I can't help myself. You know
I like giving you gifts. I buy the best from these stores
'cause I want you to look perfect when you go to the strip club.
