i. ch. vii - at the date - 'something else' + extra lines
You're always something else.
The way you make me lose control of my hands, my feet, my mouth, my heart,
You'll always be something else,
As fire burns bright in my veins that were cold at the start.
It's dark but light still flickers in my mind like a cloud,
Of memories I can't fight, memories of tonight,
And my hand decides that yours needs to be found,
By mine so I can adore you quietly under the moonlight.
Maybe I'm stupid for reading this so,
I could be wrong, completely off as you think nothing that I am,
But I hear your voice say— "Can I do something before we go?"
And you ask for a kiss that we're not ready for but goddamn,
It's still magical, and I crumble to pieces.
I know I'm falling in love with you more as we try our best,
And I'll always hope this warmth never ceases.
You're forever going to be something else.

ii. ch. xii - before the first kiss - 'fallen angel'
He lies like a fallen angel, darkened hair growing long as if it reaches the tips of his coruscating soul.
Some say his warmth gives leeway to discerning deception, but all I see is laughter in the smile he gives me.
It's hard to think coherently the instant our eyes meet, but I know my heart flourishes to become whole.
And he'd never comprehend how much he means to me, the fallen angel who indisputably makes me weak.
----
iii. ch. xvi - 'aftertaste'
It's hard to know myself with you there.
Do you change me in a moment, or have I changed because of you?
Your aftertaste always lingers wherever I go,
Am I a mess who's obsessed, or are you just an angel?
You're the sun's skin and the moon's touch,
I'm the rain who drips sadness and desolation,
You love the rain, do you love me?
We'd make rainbows, if I let myself fall into you.
You laugh in crystals and smile in jewels,
You're a spark of rare beauty in foreign light,
I love you knowing why but not how
out of eight billion and counting,
Why was your aftertaste the one that stuck?
I am the darkness but I'll always find enough light,
To find you just so I can adore you some more,
And when the shadows and the curtains fall,
I know you'll still be there,
Waiting with a bejewelled smile and a soft kiss,
So I can keep falling in love with your aftertaste.

iv. 'fuzz' (new)
Fuzz never used to be a complicated thing,
not until it broke through my skin
and wrapped around my heart.
Its innocence doesn't suit me
but it's tied up like string,
squeezing tighter at every word
coming from your pretty lips
that's like a simple work of art.
