"The truth is: I’ve never stoppedloving you. Not even for a second.Not even during all of those..."

“The truth is: I’ve never stopped

loving you. Not even for a second.

Not even during all of those times

when I told you that my life would

have been better if I would have

never met you, never fell in love

with the simplicity of your everything.

I lied to myself and I lied to you

when I wrote out my absence

for you in faded black typewriter

ink. I lied because I knew that I had

to. That if I didn’t cover up my

pain with cruelty, I would be back

at the start; with you seeing me

as only temporary, and with my eyes

confusing coincidence for fate.”
