"Dave?"
My stomach was shaking, almost churning to every single beat. Dumf. Dumf.
I remembered that day clearly, the 21st of January 1995.
My heart kept racing on but I still didn't know why it was so unsettling.

Most mornings, I had awoken to the sight of the ever so handsome boy-toy of mine, 'Dave'. This morning it wasn't the same, when I say it wasn't the same, it was like I was in a parallel universe kind of ****...'not the same'.

Most times we were attached, not in a 'meet you at the middle of the slice of pizza' kind but the literal kind. I haven't gone a night without sitting on the other side of the toilet door or as Dave liked to call it "Dear I'm just painting the porcelain because white is just way too plain", it was cute the first forty times but it still grew old quick.

The clock had turned its short hand to 9 and that was all that mattered to me in that moment. It was 9am: breakfast time. I didn't smell Dave's pancakes, I didn't hear the sizzling of frying pans or the clanging of things... I don't cook much, if not at all; so I wasn't really sure what Dave was doing but I knew it had a lot of clangs and dings.

My day was invaded by a little bit of rain, the rain pattering against the windows used to be what Dave and I loved. When it rained, it meant we could just stay inside and enjoy each others company.

Time passed differently
It always passed differently...
I decided to sleep most of the day away until Dave came back the next day because he always did.

"Dave?" My stomach was churning to every single beat. Two women enter both dressed in some ridiculous halloween costume. "I just woke up"

"Yes you did", the blonde hair woman said to me.

"Dave?" I called out again.

This time the other one decided to open their mouth, "Ms Louise, there hasn't been a Dave for a long time. You haven't been taking your medication have you ma'am?"

"Dave?"...

*Time passed differently.It had always passed differently...

The skies may fall
The clouds may turn grey
The dark may rise
But I will love you all the way.
Be it tomorrow, today, yesterday.

They say love is chemistry
Chemistry is simply a science
I simply respond to that in silence
Because with you it's not science
I don't care about the facts
I don't care about your figure
There's a different picture
You are an artwork to be adored
And you can only ever see art
If you chose to see it with your heart.

I want it to be in the darkest hour
I will watch you like a blooming flower
In the brightest moment
I will be by your side till
We join the words never and over
To form the fact that we're never over.

I want you to know,
You are my future.

Without you, to keep by my side
I won't know, if I'm dead or alive,
I don't know, if it's just a week,
To some, its a drop in the sea,
but to me, it's an ocean of blue
I can't find myself some help
just to try and stop missing you.

Without you, to keep by my side
I don't know, if I'm a smile
away from a tear.
So please baby, don't let me hear,
you say...
'It's just a week'.

I sign off with a 'I love you darling, goodnight';
though I wish night never came,
I sign a start with 'Hey sweetheart, out comes the sky''
and I feel like I touched a little piece of heaven.
I face the grey clouds with a bit of a bitter smile
but I am reminded that every grey has a silver line
and with a simple silver line, you can seize the world,
but I know that I have as I sign off every night
"you are my world and I am glad you are in my life".

I touched heaven though I did not die,
I watched an angel from beneath the skies
who gave happiness and life, a new meaning.

I touched heaven though I did not die,
for heaven is in my heart and paradise
held no meaning without the touch
of what it felt like to be completed with love.

I sit alone upon an empty room
I try not to think of what has happened here
nor think on breathless tombs
but the two have felt synonymous at times.
I remember the photos on my walls
those who sat with disgruntled smiles,
cherish-able moments before stars fall
for as soon as nights end, moments fade.
I feel a little out of place between the sheets
it's as though I've been caught in between rocks
as caverns open up to a light I can not see,
but I try to hide it all away in a smile.

I see her photo, lit by lights of my phone
I remind myself of all that I have yet to live
then I realise, I may never have to feel alone
as I glimmer with a tiny star-raising smile.

The dark rooms are still dark,
But I am no more less than alone.

To the most beautiful girl in the world,
I know you have been through so much
And though you try to stay strong
I know sometimes that it isn't enough.

So my starshine, I want you to know
that no matter how bad things get
I will always be there for you
A little more but never a little less.

You make me happy beyond words
from all the care that you show to me
I've never met a girl as great as you
who treasures only making me happy.

I love you gee gee for filling up my life
with joy and love.
You are the perfect girl I can rely on
for anything.
one two three, I know I can always
count on you no matter what.
