I keep trying to recall how we got here.
It was random, wasnt it?

There wasnt any spell cast, or an arrowCupidstruck straight into our hearts.
It was normal, boring even.
It was innocent, without any hidden intention.
How did I get to the point where Id run only to you for safety?
How did we arrive at looking at each other like no one else mattered?
How did we become a big part of each others lives, filling each others void?
How did we become the very people we used to make fun of?
We both know how though, right?
Maybe there was a smidge of intention after all when we first met and started a conversation.
We needed a time-out from life, some sort of escape.
Maybe we saw a bit of hope in each other.
We needed each other to stay alive because this world is one cruel fucker.
That was it and nothing more, because we kissed and I knew right then.
That kiss woke me up from my fairy tale, like a reversed spell.
Wed only drag each other deeper into the water.
You and I could never weather the storm together, because we still have our own storms to weather.
That kiss made me realize that everything after that night we met was just stories in my head.
You and I were just fiction an escape conceived by nothing but fantasy.
And maybe thats fine.
