Mosquito Bites

OuR mIRaClE AnGeLs - BeFoRe OuR aFtEr

We were blessed to have been able to leave together, my dear. Many people are left behind by those they dearly love but not us. I had poured all of my fears into you without even realising that once I'd finished, you'd be full. Not half empty, dear, but full. Every secret, every misery, every accident, every slight of my history, everything, was hidden away in you, along with my soul and mind; fear did not drive me anymore, dear.

I'd never spoken about this before, my dear, but afterwards, we skated alongside each other for a very long time. It could have been for eternity if we'd let it. We'd be soaring across the world. We'd be one with the calm and subtle breeze. We'd be happy. We'd smile and laugh, we'd share our lives with each other but most of all, dear, we'd share our love. We would share our love.

Many would go on to call us 'cowards' or perhaps 'misled'. We were a 'bad influence' on each other but my dear, oh dear oh dear, you were the only positive influence I had in my life. I was not unique nor surprising, not happy nor alive. It was simple, my dear.

I was not real without you.

But look at us now. We are free, at our own liberty. No-one can tell us to stop because at last, we have gained our own rights.

At last, we have drifted away from their mosquito bites.
