TOUCH & GO
~~~
"Time changes people. I know when I see you again, we won't be Theo and Irie anymore; we would be two entirely different people. We might look at each other and smile but on the inside, we would be asking ourselves who we truly are now. Whether I still leave the nightlight on and if you still hate nuts in chocolate bars. If I still sing when it's raining and whether you still watch that Disney movie when you're alone. We'd probably greet each other ask how our families are doing, but all we would want to know is if we are still in love. We would know we're not. And yet we would desperately try to convince ourselves otherwise.
"But the truth will remain. We would have moved on. It must have been hard and it must have hurt. But after a while, time must have wrapped itself around our wounds and healed them. We would have wished we still had each other to kiss and tell us fairy tales. We would have cried in bathrooms at parties and drowned in nostalgia whenever our song came up on the radio. I would have danced with mascara tears and you would have drunk till you forgot my name. Theo, we will fall apart. Life isn't about holding on, it's about letting go.
"All we ever do is touch-and-go."

Copyrighted. This book, all its characters, the plot-line, the dialogues and the idea belong to me, rn2sirrah. Don't stoop low and steal my imagination.
Please note that while I believe in happy endings, as an author, I must not let my feelings (for my characters or otherwise) influence the plot line. A piece of work must remain unbiased and true. I am not saying the ending of this book will be unhappy, I am simply stating there will be no unicorns running across rainbows when it comes down to Theodore and Iris. #eddie
Ps. While there will be sad chapters, remember I was sent from the butterfly kingdom to spread joy and hope.
Cheers, mate. Carry on.
Much love, Sirrah.
