"we fit together not because we need each other, but because we choose each other.
our friendship was always our choice. love was a natural progression."

💞💞💞💞

we'd only been
talking for
five months
and you'd loved
me as
more than a friend
for four of those five

you told me
you loved me
five days
after the concert i'd gone to
for both of us
the concert by
those three punk rock
lads from texas

it was march ninth
and you told me
you were crying
and hurting

and i begged for you,
my van gogh
to tell me what
was causing
all the hurt
someone as
angelic
as you never deserved.

and then
after two seemingly
endless
hours of crying
from your side of the phone screen
and panicking from mine

you asked me

not to hate you
and i said i never could and
never would

and you told me
you didn't want me to
leave you

i'll never ever
leave you.

and then you told me

you're in
l o v e
with me

i remember you
panicking
as i took a moment

to gather my thoughts

and realise
the truth

and i told you

that i'm in love with you too.

"baby this isn't april fools"

"i know"

PAUSE

"i love you my
starry starry night."

"i love you too
my van gogh."
