6 Months

Things were going well. I'd decided I had made the right decision. To give our relationship another go. Yes, I've made the right choice.

We had been just having a relaxing day at Damiano's house. We had managed to talk about, what feels like everything. He had already told me about the new album, måneskin are planning to release in a few months. He was telling me there was a song, dedicated to me on the album. Oh.

"What's the song about" I asked curiously. Not knowing if it would be good or bad.

"It's just about us. Us breaking up to be specific. How I felt" he said, looking rather emotional.

I suddenly felt guilty. I put my hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"I'm sorry Dami" I say "I never wanted either to us to hurt like that"

"No, it isn't and was never your fault" he said turning to me, taking my hands in his.

"What's the song called?" I ask trying to make the conversation slightly lighter.

"Torna a casa" he says, turning to look into my eyes.

Well, that certainly didn't make it any lighter. It's what he would message me everyday during our breakup after I left. I lean in and hug him. He wraps his arms around me tightly. We sit there, just hugging each other without words for a few seconds. His body is warm and he doesn't feel as if he's going to let go of me.

"I love you" I say to him, my head still in the crook of his neck.

He pulls away from our hug and looks at me.
Oh god. What have I done? Was that too soon to say? Marlena, why did you say that?

"I love you too" he says.

At first his face is rather neutral but a smile soon changes his face.

"I love you so much, Marlena" he says while pulling me in for an even tighter hug.

I hug him so tightly back. I don't want to ever let go in this moment. I feel so safe in his arms. Why did I ever let him go? I know why I did. But still. How did I manage it? I don't know how I'll get through another break up. I just hope I won't need to.

"For forever now, I hope" I say as he kisses the side of my neck.

"Yes, in 6 months, I'm never going more than one day without being near you"

I pull away, looking confused.

"6 months?" I ask, wondering what he's talking about.

"Yes" he says, realizing I've forgotten whatever he's talking about.

"Why 6 months?"

"I'm on tour, remember" he says, his face going more serious. But his arms still holding me.

"Oh" I say, sat still

"Are you ok?" He asks me, looking worried.

"Yes I'm ok, I just.. I just forgot" I say.

"Marlena, amore mio. I promise I will call you every single day, I will always make time for you and prioritize you. I love you and right now our relationship is most important to me" he says.

"I can't let you put me first over your music Damiano" I tell him.

"You can't stop me either" He says. "I love you"

He pulls me into a hug, kissing my head as he does.
I just hope we can make our relationship work around tour. Because I do, I do love him.
