The poem for every OTP.

The Obvious

We didn't deny the obvious
but we didn't entirely accept it either

We said hello to it each morning in the foyer
we patted its little head as it made a mess in the backyard
but we never nurtured it.

Many nights the obvious showed up at our bedroom door in its pajamas
unable to sleep, in need of a hug

and we just stared at it like an Armenian
or even worse hid beneath the covers
and pretended not to hear its tiny sobs.

- Jeffrey McDaniel

SO TRUE.

OTP aside, I really like that poem. I've never heard of the author, but I'll definitely try to check him out!

EXACTLY. I'd use a House and Cuddy icon if I had one, so my Barney/Robin one had to do (BECAUSE THEY'RE DENYING THE OBVIOUS, TOO).

You should totally check McDaniel out, he's brilliant! There's a lot of his stuff available online.

And how much do I love that you've used a Barney/Robin icon for this post?

Because clearly they are DENYING THE OBVIOUS and NEED TO HAVING SEX NOW.
