prim's prose

fact two in time you grow inseparable and people don’t know where your name starts and his name ends, and you feel more like a whole and less like a half

fact three you were always too fond of the softness of his belly and the way he brightened up when you called his name

fact four his girlfriend doesn’t like you because you’re too close, too intimate, too devoted but you cannot remember a time where you haven’t been his all along

fact five when he asked you what you want from love you almost said his name

fact six you’re nineteen when you realize you want to be loved by him a little more than friends probably should

fact seven the first time you tell him you love him, you’re drunk

fact eight the first time he tells you he loves you, he’s sober, but he has always been the brave one of you two

fact nine kissing him feels a lot like dying and coming back to life again and you don’t want to stop
