It was supposed to be a usual day
One filled with work humor and inside jokes
Today felt different though
I don't know why
I kissed Kate and headed off to work like I did every morning
Nothing new or unusual
Yet something still felt off
It was probably the Starbucks breakfast and coffee
I need to go on a diet
I take the elevator to the 78th floor, and sit at my desk, getting started on the work that was expected of me for that day and the next
Kate's birthday is tomorrow and I still need to pick up her gift
An engagement ring
After 3 years of being the love of my life, I wanted to make sure it stays that way forever
My unruly dirty blonde curls fell into my eyes, and as much as Kate wanted me to get a hair cut I simply refused
Never, could I ever, go without my precious locks of sandy hair
My words exactly
And so I sat at my desk, pushing my fingers through my hair to keep my vision, as I worked on today's papers, ready to finish them by lunch and go home
To Kate
Forever
Well, at least until Thursday
