5:38 am



I will be yours if you be mine
you don’t have to worry about me leaving
for I’ll drop everyone else in my life
daffodils, rain, cafés and clementines
all the things that make you
if this ever comes a day we are apart
nostalgia and diaphanous is how I’ll always remember you
you own every bit of my heart
and I treasure you the same way Hebe treasures her youth
I know your love like the back of my hand
why I can never live without you again now that I know you exist, is something I won’t ever understand
