Before you were never born.

By Phalanx

I love myself too much as I love you.
Crimes are only punished after the fact and I'm not sorry.
I like your colors, lady of riddles and autumn sense.
May I have this dance and dance it as though
I'll never dance again.
I will take you home, somewhere safe from
The monsters like me.

I love you without touching because you are so precious.
When all I wish to do is wish, keep me close and remember
My love.

I miss you.

    I know this story all too well, you lose a piece of yourself everytime you write it...but the future could yield infinite possibilites, and you would make a wonderful dad. Scholar
