On Paper

I once told you that I did not know how to stop running towards you

You said I never did .

A whole relationship based on playing a game of “guess who” with your personality,

Maybe we were only ever meant to fall in love on paper.

On paper you would awaken to a revelation of feelings

A lightbulb moment that I had always been by your side.

On paper you would see our friends move on with their lives,

And come to the realisation that in my heart,

was were your home should be.
