The Words of Moiety
I loved you -
When you gave me little gifts in exchange for my silence;
When you said that long sleeves made me look gorgeous to hide the bruises on my skin;
When you were too far gone and had to ''have your way" with me;
When you crawled into my nightmares the way monsters creep under the beds of children;
When you decided that installing a software on my phone to track my every move was neccessary since the world was cruel;
When you said you loved me too.
But wait -
He gives me gifts because he wants to surprise me;
He says that I look beautiful in whatever I choose to wear;
He always makes sure I am comfortable around him;
He sleeps next to me when I have nightmares;
He gave himself three heart emojis as his contact name on my phone to show his affection;
He says he loves me, and shows it too.
