If you haven’t noticed by now, I get emotional about my food. It’s the most vital thing you can do for supreme health and well-being, so why not fall in love?

Dear Plum,

It’s been a long time. I missed you desperately. I saw you out of the corner of my eye today and was stunned by your perfect shape. I longed to run to you, but I held back. You left me so quickly last fall.

Why do you come around so infrequently? I can appreciate that you feel most attractive in the summer. I don’t disagree. Is it just for me that you go to great measures to come to my neighborhood in such a lovely state? I like to think it is.

I’m just barely building up the courage to hold you again. Frankly, I’m scared to fall in love only for you to walk out again. Your allure is too powerful for me to resist though.

I think of your virtues often; your perfectly smooth and tight skin, that shade of unfathomably rich purple. None other boasts such deep, dark color. Grape is transparent. You’re mysterious.

Your radiance transcends your physical beauty. I feel healthy in your presence; like the very best version of myself.

Is it your scent? Light and floral, but not quite tropical, you’re well aware of your power and tease unmercifully with it.

I’m ecstatic that you’re back in town, plum. I’ll exercise patience, but I’ll be devouring your sweet, explosive, juicy flesh in short order. 

With anxious anticipation,

Kap
