Hugs and Kisses
No matter the occasion, no matter the day
No matter if you were writing just to say ‘hey’
Every single card I ever got from you, just so I’d know,
you‘d end it with a simple phrase: “XO-XO�.
“Happy birthday Ricky!� or
“Were so proud� you’d say
And always the same ending
“I love you so much you know,
Love Mimi, XO-XO.�
“Happy Easter buddy!� or
“Keep an eye on your crazy brother!� you’d say
But always had the same ending
“I love you, that you know,
Love Mimi, XO-XO.�
Hugs and Kisses. That’s what it stands for.
But for me, “XO-XO� means so much more.
It’s funny how profound a couple letters can be,
But “XO-XO� from you is the same as spelling “L-O-V-E�.
Now this is my attempt at seeing if it has the same affect for me:
Mimi,
I know you’ve always been there for me,
And I know you’ll always continue to be,
I know when I feel weak, you’ll be there to give me strength
And when I come up short, you’ll be there to help me finish the length
I know when I need guidance, you’ll help me see,
And to help me the best ‘me’ that I know how to be.
There’s one last thing that I know,
And it’s that I love you Mimi,
Love Ricky
XO-XO.
