Maybe it was just the painkillers talking,
But he told me he thought you were an asshole.
And that I deserved to be loved by someone
Who wasn't afraid of how big and all-consuming my love was.
Somebody like who he used to be, before the darkness took hold.
And he was right,
He was the only one who'd ever been brave enough to ride out my storm.
He kissed me deep and I slapped his dimpled cheek hard and he slapped back.
My face stung and my skin felt electric
And we were breaking each other apart once more.
Sure it was fucking crazy,
But nothing about him and I had ever been normal,
He knew I wasn't fragile and he laughed at any man who treated me like I was,
I was rough and wild and he was my only equal.
And after,
He held me tight against his chest and kissed my forehead,
Asking me if I was okay, about me & him and me & you…
I wasn't, not just yet, but I knew I would be.
Whether we were together or on opposite ends of the world.
Even if I never saw him again after this very night.
I'd always be in his heart, regardless of whether I was in his hands, too.
And for now,
That was all that mattered.
