”We live in a generation of not being in love,
And not being together.
But we sure make it feel like we’re together,
Cause we’re scared to see each other with somebody else.
So cry if you need to,
But I can’t stay to watch you.
That’s the wrong thing to do.
Touch if you need to,
But I can’t stay to hold you.
That’s the wrong thing to do.
Talk if you need to,
But I can’t stay to hear you.
That’s the wrong thing to do.
Cause you’ll say you love me,
And I’ll end up lying,
And say I love you too.”
his pledge to her.
i will kill the spiders. i will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry. i won’t ever pop my collar. i will never be rude to your tummy- when i hear it growl and gurgle, i promise to bend down and reply respectfully. i will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. i will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed finger. and the counter-bumped hip. i’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. i will be the big spoon. i will let you win at wrestling. sometimes. other times i will not. i will go faster. harder. i will pull when you want. and tease you when you don’t. i will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. not always. not on schedule. just whenever i want to. whenever i think you need one. or seven. i will check your tire pressure. and remind you to take your car in. i will hold your hand. i will love you. i will love you. i will love you.

I wouldn’t mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.I don’t want to lose this happy space where I have found someone who is smart and easy and doesn’t bother to check her diary when we arrange to meet.”
