i met this guy at a cafe today. he reminds me of you. his dimples are really similar to yours and when he smiles, his entire face lights up. he says his name is christopher. i don't know why, but i want to get to know him better. since you're not real, i shouldn't feel guilty for feeling this way. right?

"Babyyyy~" you whine from the floor, looking up at me. "Don't ignore me~" I just bit my lip to hide my smile and keep my face turned away from you. You scrunch your face and get up on your knees to get eye level with me. Grabbing my chin, we make eye contact and you give me a smile, kissing my nose.

"Dork," I whisper. You stick out your tongue before bringing your laptop to you. 

"I'm your dork," you say proudly, before pressing play on the track. A piano instrumental fills the room. Your soothing vocals follow.

"I wanna link my heart with yours, so I'll never be lonely. The demons will go if I'm with you."

"Don't leave me here, stay with me awhile."

"So let me link my heart with yours, so we'll never be lonely."

I look over at you. You're grinning proudly, bashfully rubbing the back of your neck. "Did you like it?" You ask nervously. "I stayed up really late to finish it."

I laugh. Of course you did. What else could I expect? I lean down and smile before kissing you.

"Hey, dork." "Hmm?" 

"I love you."
