This Is How You Lose the Time War

by Amal El-Mohtar

I love you. I love you. I love you. I’ll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You’ll never see, but you will know. I’ll be all the poets, I’ll kill them all and take each one’s place in turn, and every time love’s written in all the strands it will be to you.

But maybe this is how we win, Red. You and me. This is how we win.
