Dear Ariella,

Dear Ariella,

We went out again today.

You took me to the Community Garden.

We skinny dipped in the lake.

You were so beautiful.

Don't worry, I didn't look at anything, though.

It turned out you liked my tattoo so much,

You got the same one of me on your back.

Our shoulder blades represent our undying love.

Well, at least my love.

I kissed you for the second time.

This time you kissed back

And put your hands on my chest.

When I dropped you off, I went to two places.

I went to the salon

And got my hair dyed the same color as yours.

And I got another tattoo

Of your hands.

I had her tattoo them right where you touched my chest, because I could still feel the tingling.

I had her add two bracelets on your wrists, though.

The left one was my name

And the right one was yours.

If I get a tattoo every time we go out, I might as well dye my skin black and the teal blue of our hair.
