For as long as we’ve been dating, Diana has complained that I hardly ever write about her in my blog. “Why don’t you write about how wonderful your girlfriend is?” she asks me periodically. “You can write pages about all of your ex-girlfriends or about how you’re pining over some girl, but you never write about me.”

Over the lifespan of this blog, I’ve written a fair amount about unrequited love, and I’ve occasionally referenced an ex-girlfriend or two since I’m still friends with almost everyone I’ve dated. But you know, Diana is right. It’s about time that I paid her proper tribute. Here’s a little poem I wrote exalting the many ways that I love Diana.

Lesser-Than Sign, 3

D is for the delight of her awesome Diana-ness
I is a letter in the name “Diana”. So they tell me;
A is for her abundant, annoying attempts to pimp a shout-out on my blog
N is for the necessity to fill this poem up with nice words…almost done
A is another letter in Diana, who is awesome, and who rules!
<3 <3 <3!

I hope you like it, Diana. This one’s from the heart.
