“I’m not scared. You and me … like the moon and the stars, we’re permanent.”
He leaned in until I could smell him and the beer on his breath. “Liar. I miss you.”
We more than meant a lot to each other.
We were the breeze that ruffled the dandelions. The sun that scorched our skin red until we searched for reprieve under our favorite willow tree. And underneath the stretch of dark skies, we were each other’s stars.
“But I don’t want another life. I want this one. With you.”
can’t stop. I can’t do this anymore. It’s you and me. It was always meant to be you and me, and I’m done trying to fight it.”
“You smell and taste like my heart,” he whispered to the underside of my chin, pressing lazy kisses. “And you feel like fucking heaven.”
“Just you,” he whispered.
“I’ll kill the bitch.”
