The Little Things ✔️

This is for her

So today is the day of mine and Mats duet. We were chosen to perform but I still have a feeling that it's not all going to plan out... Anyways I leave the house and walk towards the hall. It's around 9pm and I'm running a little late. The concert started about an hour ago but I didn't need to be there till 9:15 so I'm taking my time. When I get there I'm slightly late but I'm not bothered I walk into the hall and I am quite confused I can hear Mats voice but he's only doing his duet with me and the orchestra pieces so I'm quite puzzled. I listen to what he's saying and try and see if I can see him. He's up on stage talking to the audience.
"So I've recently written a song for someone who I'm madly in love with and well if she's here then this is for you you know who you are but if your not then this is for her." He glances around trying to find me but I stay hidden behind people. As I look up to him I notice he's incredibly tired and looks half dead.....I really hope he's ok because to me he looks far from it. He starts playing the song I heard only a few days ago it's a sweet high pitched song he sings the lyrics I heard before but he sounds like an angel. As much as I'm enjoying listening to him playing I can't help but worry about how sad and tired he looks so I decide after the concert I'm going to talk to him. He doesn't deserve to put all the effort into this relationship when he seems so messed up. I love him I really do but when it comes to Mar being happy I can't help but feel he's stressing out about keeping me than enjoying it. I'm going to talk to him.
Several hours later and we are standing on stage taking our bows under the hot white lights. I'm so tired, it was a good concert everything went to plan and I'm happy....except that thought always at the back of my mind is Mat ok? I'm going to talk to him. A few moments later I find myself in a deserted hall with Mat, we said that we would clear up but in actual fact we just want to hm get up that ladder onto the roof and put our duet in the jar of reasons. I'm so nervous that I'm going to muck up and offend Mat, I want to ask him if he's really ok but I don't know how to say it. When we are on top of the roof I take in a deep breath and face him.
"Mat can I ask you something?" He turns round and looks at me with those tired eyes that were once filled with so much light.
"Recently I've seen that you aren't yourself, your not as happy and as full of light as you were. And even when I first met you you looked upset. So I just want to know. Is everything ok?" He smiles and pulls me closer to him.
"Do you want the complete truth?" He asks. I just nod. He takes in the a deep breath ready to spill out his whole life to me.
