In-N-Out, you are an easy love.
Even when I demand complicated and encrypted things, you consistently and eagerly provide for me. You don’t ask for much, hardly anything at all, in fact. That's something that always amazes me: how much you give and how little you take.
My parents love you. I eagerly take you home and show you off any chance I get. I love bragging about you and all you’ve done for your community. It seems as though everything and everyone just flocks to you. You radiate love and hope.
You’re good for me. I’ve been in such toxic relationships before now that I didn’t even realize how much damage they had done until I met you. Everyone else in comparison to you is garbage: grease-covered, high sodium, poison. Heck, you showed me what true love really is. I was a vegetarian before I met you, for crying out loud. You can’t go back down to the valley once you’ve been to the top of the mountain.
Every time I knock on your door, you greet me with the biggest smile. You’re constantly asking what you can do for me. Even when I come in grumpy or tired, I leave feeling refreshed, feeling as care-free as a palm tree swaying in the wind.
You’re not understood. Most people think of you as someone that just wants to deal with whatever you want and then shove you out the door: get you in and then get you out. They think you just want a quick-fix, a shallow relationship. But I know you. I know that this isn’t true. Your intentions are so pure. You simply want to help people in the most efficient and kind way possible.
You’re always there for me. I can never repay you for everything you’ve done for me. I will always love you, until death do us part. And I’ll see you on the other side, because if I know anything about God, I know that he molded you in His image more than anyone else I’ve ever encountered. I’m in this for the long-haul. Even in your darkest hours, I will stand by you and love you unconditionally.
-Love always.
