Not In The Same Way • Lashton

Epilogue • Not In The Same Way

"I miss you, Lukey, so much," I whisper, leaning against the sleek stone, tracing over the engraved words for the thousandth time.

Luke Robert Hemmings
July 16, 1996
April 26, 2020
A fallen angel who finally found his way home.

"We'll see each other again, like you said. Remember, Lukey?" I say, feeling tears tumble from my eyes. "When I see you, I'm going to hold you a-and never let go."

With trembling hands, I reach for my bag, pulling out the small bottle of pills that Luke's left. Xanax.

Within seconds, they tumbled from the bottle onto my hands, soon gliding down my throat.

My eyes grew heavy, every breath grew shorter.

"I want to hold you, Lukey."

Ashton drinks all night, never sleeps,

Luke say go, and he won't leave,

He loves Luke, Luke loves him,

But not in the same way,

Luke ripped Ashton's heart out and left,

Ashton was on the floor, and Luke watched him bleed,

Ashton loves Luke, Luke loves Ashton,

But not in the same way,

Not today, mascara's running down his face again,

Ashton can feel it coming it down on him,

Hurricane Lashton,

They're good at this game, game,

They fuck, then they fight, then Luke calls Ashton a psycho,

Luke walks out the door, but Ashton won't let him let go,

Turn right around, throw rocks at his window,

But Ashton can't forget him and he'll always let him,

Luke drinks all night, never sleeps,

Luke says go, he won't leave,

Ashton loves Luke, Luke loves Ashton,

But not in the same way.
