Not only did I love her but I could tell the Universe loved her, too. More than the others. After all, I'd be a fool not to notice the way the sunshine played with her hair.
I admit I was afraid to love. Not just to love, but to love her. For she was a stunning mystery, she carried things deep inside that no one has yet to understand. And I, I was afraid to fail like the others.
You came up behind me, wrapped your arms around my neck and covered my eyes with your hands. "Guess who?" you asked, how silly, I thought, it was to think I wouldn't know you by the feeling of your heartbeat against my back.
Your heart breaks and it sounds like him. Like bad puns and car engines and nerdy jokes. Like drunken laughter and TV references you don't understand. Like white lies and tired sighs and broken sobs. Your heart breaks and it sounds like him.
When I traced the freckles on your back, I told you that I had run my fingers through dust from countless stars and galaxies, yet I had never seen a more beautiful constellation.
So lie to me and tell me its going to be alright. So lie to me and tell me we'll make it through the night. I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart so look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie.
We loved each other and we knew it, without say a single word but never did anything to show it. They call it 'skinny love', they say we didn't care enough to do something about it. I think we care so much there wasn't an earthly way to describe it.
