First Verse (A Perfect Song Duet #1)

by L.M. Halloran

Baby, this is destiny I’ll follow you into the sea I’ll come for you, you’ll see Set us free — You and me Dead or alive

You know you’re my muse. It’s always been this way. It will always be this way.”

If I had a dollar for every time You almost touched me I’d give my fortune to the wind Cause unlike me she can move Move against your skin

“This happens every time you walk in a room,” he grinds out. “Every time you open that pouty mouth or give me those glistening ‘fuck me’ eyes. You make me insane. Don’t you get it? The problem is I do respect you. I respect your mind and talent more than anyone else on this planet does. You’re sacred to me, Evangeline. But your body?

I wanted to give you all my Glass-house truths But I loved you too much To shatter on you

“She’s a woman, Wilder. Not an object to find, keep, or lose.” “I know that.” “You don’t. Not yet. But you will.”

As more fragments of my soul break free, flying into her keeping, I decide it doesn’t matter. She can have them. Every last piece of me. I’d rather be lost in her than found anywhere else.

How fast does a heart beat When it can’t tell time? And how long must I wait For you to be mine?
