Wishing he'd find a reason. Wishing he'd let me be his reason. ༺ ✧ ༻ They say friends to lovers is something so wholesome. But they don't realise how sacred we are, Enemies to lovers, A person who knew me for all my flaws, Acknowledged all my scars, Voiced out all my ugly imperfections, And yet, Loved me anyway.
