Equally

"We're equally fucked up" he said in a serious tone

"What do you mean?" I asked

"you and I aren't supposed to be together it messes with the balance of life" he explained as If I didn't already know this, but I did, and frankly I don't care.

"So-" I pushed

"This messes with everything and could get us killed" he paused " Addie, we are so much alike but so different. we have faced so many obstacles in our lives, in the past. Even now all I know is I need you" he stepped forward closer to me making me want to explode and melt all at once with his words and closeness.

" if we are equally fucked up, then we have to be equally perfect for each other" I stated holding on to as much voice as I could find while staring into his beautiful honey, light brown eyes.

"Equally, and perfectly imperfect" he replied.

"Equally"

"Equally"
