love mishaps



i've mentioned before i'm a romantic at heart. and being a romantic, i tried to think of a gift to buy my girlfriend that would scream..."i'm thinking about you". it wasn't about price, it was about thought. what could i buy...that would show her that i was always thinking of her? what can i get that she can have and think of me?

so i went down to this store called, "things to remember". and saw this heart compact. so i thought long & hard about what i wanted it to say. i got her name engraved on the front. and wanted to put a message on the other side. the first thing that popped in my head..

at first..."if you look in my heart, this is what you'll see".

that was cool. but i wasn't sure if that was too much. after all, she always implies i'm moving too fast. and i'm too serious. so i backed off that idea.

then i came up with.."your only imperfection is, you without me...". i thought to myself maybe she wouldn't understand what i was trying to say. so the lady at the store asked me if i wanted some help...so we came up with.."you're always in my heart" (or something similar..lol it's been a while). short, sweet, & to the point. so i go out and find this beautiful heart box. red, heavy, carved box. and i put the compact in there. she sees it and kisses me and thanks me for it.

but months go by and i never see it again, nor hear mention of it. so one day we're having a conversation about, "your & you're". and she's telling me, "i know you don't know the difference in the words..". and i ask her why she said that, she informs me her compact says...

"YOUR ALWAYS IN MY HEART"

i inform her the stupid girl at the store must have spelled it wrong when she was engraving it. because i know i double checked it a million times before i decided to go with that message. so that's why she never has it? or never said anything else about it? *smh*...i've wanted to for a while go and get another one done corrected. but i thought about it. if she was gangsta she would rock that shit and be like, "so my boyfriend might not be able to conjugate verbs...but i love his retarded sped ass anyway". so i refuse to get another one, at least until i see her show some pride in that one.

*ignorantly strolls away*

Dang....if it was an issue it could've been brought up earlier instead of being stashed for a year so a change could've been made. Ah well, I agree with Sunshinestar, it's the thought that counts.

Lol. I'm kind of a Nazi about "you're" and "your" so I probably would've felt some type of way about something like that. But I would probably have said something...I feel like it's my duty to ensure that my loved ones use proper grammar at all times lol

@sunshinestar110: yanno how mean yall DC chicks. are. thanks for being so supportive..lol.

@starrla monae: i know..i could have took that shit back and told the girl to change it. but now it's "my" mistake.

@uglycleanbroke87: it's your duty huh?..cleaning the streets of all the bad grammar criminals hiding in the allies huh?

@jazzyjaz: exactly..she know i'm not really a sped. she could have at least thought to herself, maybe he doesn't realize they spelled it this way...but nooo. lol
