…Years ago. I’ve been impressed by you since the start. You were confident, self-assured, incredibly sexy, and smarter than anyone else in the room. You were light, I was a shadow. But you saw me. I don’t know how. You gave me time. I don’t know why. Your attention: my water, my air, my sunlight. I was smitten from the start, but hid it well. A shadow knows when to be unseen. I survived off you, fed off you, dreamed of you, of us… You always deflect, you say to me, right about everything again.
