You may not believe me but I think of myself as the beast in Beauty & the Beast.
You said you were dating me instead of coming out, I feel so honoured.
It's only been a hundred days but I'd love a hundred and more.
You always know the right thing to say, you welcome me with open arms and I feel so lucky to have you, especially as your first. Your smile lights up like a constellation, join the dots.
You may be far now but we're still together in our hearts. I cherish being with you, 'cause you mean the world to me. I wasn't in the best place when I met you but you helped me overcome it, if something's wrong you can count on me. You can play piano, you can speak Mandarin and Cantonese, you even know origami, its only with you I can make cranes; you're a great teacher, even in a hospital ward you made me feel at home. I made your morning tea 'cause I know just the way you like it. You reminded me what's it like to have a crush again when I felt like I couldn't. I wouldn't trade that for anything, you made me feel alive again.
We made art together through colouring, we write each other love letters, you're my Begin Again (by Taylor Swift), while I'm your sweetheart (two by Sleeping At Last). The panda I made you was my first finished crochet project. When you're back we'll spend the weekends together. It took a lot of courage for me to ask you out without knowing if you were out but I don't regret it at all 'cause I'm yours.
