Without love ~ phan

Epilogue

(Dear Dan. Love, Phil)

(Did you know that worms eat their food by pulling it into their mouths with their prostomium?

Yes, I finally figured it out.

Did you know that if my tears were wax I would surely go blind?

I know, I just had to go and ruin it. I'm sorry. It had to be said.)

Did you know that the idea of constellations is just as phony as the myth that rain is a bad thing?

You and I can splash through the puddles as if we have nothing to lose.

Did you know that if I was the sun, you would be the moon?

You're subtle enough to look at and there's no denying the mystery of what the other half of you is like. But guess what? The small amount of light that's reflected off of the moon can aid in the growth of beautiful things, things that anyone would be proud of. It sounds pretty magical, wouldn't you agree?

Did you know that I call you "bear" behind your back?

Some people fear them but I just think they're misunderstood and deserve love the same as any animal.

Did you know that I'm still not the most fond of romance novels?

But I would never object to going to our favorite spot in the library or to a bedtime story, because I'm so hopeless that just hearing the cadence of your voice gets me overwhelmed.

Did you know that my dad (and Reese's) has been questioning me nonstop about when he gets to meet you?

He claims that my plants are dying because I use so much of my time talking about you.

Did you know that my favorite color palette is pink, brown, and beige?

We can paint our future home with those colors, if you want to.

Did you know that someday when I live with the trees and the clear sky I will drag you with me, even though I know you don't like going outside?

I'll say, "I told you so" as the nights pass by without eyes glowing in the dark, but fireflies twinkling and putting on a show. Because even though the world may wish for us to be without love, I promise I'll always be by your side.
