Isn't it rich?
Aren't we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in midair
Irony: Incongruity between what actually happens and what might be expected to happen.
Irony: When fate says, "Fuck you."
The moment I met you, I fell into a sea of bottomless blue eyes. I knew you were the one. I knew I was going to love you forever, because we belonged together.
But I was terrified of giving myself to you in that way. I was terrified to voice my desires, my love. I was terrified that you would think I was a fool, or worse yet, that I didn't deserve you. It was true; I didn't. I never deserved you. I never could. No one ever could. But still, I thought that maybe, maybe you did feel some sort of affection for me.
I just wasn't brave enough to tell you.
Not until last night, at least. Last night was the most amazing night I ever had. I invited you home and you took me up on it. Somehow we ended up in bed together, and I professed my undying love.
And you did the same.
We lay there, laughing and crying and touching, promising forever. We held each other close and made beautiful love until the sun came up. We talked about everything and anything, and we realized just how perfect we were for each other. I'd finally taken a chance, and it had paid off. I'd come down to Earth and realized that what we had was too precious to waste.
But now you're gone, and I'm such a fool. I got fooled into believing that we could last.
Send in the clowns
Wait – don't bother
They're here
