on an ugly day, i ask when you are leaving. i tell you i will follow you when you do, if you do. mentor and apprentice. leader and led. heartbreaker and heartbroken.

and i think of unspoken understandings.

you turn and wrap me in the kind of hug that blurs the edges of the entire world, all i can feel is you, she does not exist, there is nothing to get back to, we will stay like this forever, and you say, quite simply and only the tiniest bit awkwardly, for the first time, "i love you."
