dear kyle

i'm sorry
that i missed your wedding.
i wanted to be there.
if it hadn't been for
arkansas, oklahoma, tennessee, kentucky, and indiana,
you can bet that i would have been there -
right in the front row.
well, probably more like the fourth or fifth row -
just behind your family
the elderly
the hard of hearing
those in wheel chairs
and your slightly more punctual friends.
but, i would have been there.
your friend
in the fourth (or fifth) row.

PS: please call me when you get this - i lost your number.
