I loved you at seventeen

at eighteen

at nineteen

I loved you at twenty-three

and twenty-five

and twenty-seven

I loved you from the beginning

and to the end

I loved you when you married,

I loved you when you died

(I'll love you when your bones are no more)

We were never two halves of a whole,

never dust from the same star

We were never meant to be

I still loved you, loved you

love you

“Realizing it was love was the easiest thing to do. I just looked at you and the first thought on my mind was that I could stay there forever.”

#I’m thinking…. #looking down at Dorian’s sleeping face nestled in the nook under his arm #mustache askew and hair mussed #and that morning’s meeting #found the Inquisitor in a really strange mood #of simultaneous elation #after his more than pleasant evening #and disgruntlement #at being torn from that pleasant morning haze @weresquirrel, you voice my exact thoughts so well, thanks

I don’t think this arrangement is going to work out long term sonnet hours. Text of image under cut.
