Not long at all

Talks of nationwide Lockdowns over deadly viruses, news reports of daily deathtolls and debating over wearing face masks in public were mere days away from being conversation subjects when we first began talking on "plenty of freaks" as we called it. I'd been on and off the online dating scene for years with varied success, but I'd never been more impressed with anyone as I was you. We had virtually everything in common, altho your Batman knowledge was shockingly weak our shared love for David Bowie (actual obsession) made up for it. We spent the weeks chatting nonstop, sharing songs on Spotify, eventually building our own unique playlist and even though it was very newly illegal I insisted I just had to meet you! I mean we all thought we were going to die anyway! That first date was unique for so many reasons, police in the park telling people not to sit on benches aside, I knew there and then you were my forever person. Unsure though you were having come out of a very abusive and very long relationship, I knew you were the woman I'd always wanted. An entire year passes and in that time I tried to give you everything you'd never experienced in 11 years. Generosity, passion, adventure and loyality, Unwavering devotion and support. But is it enough? Am I enough? I suffocated you with my love, I gave it unrelentingly for the first time ever and now you're slipping away, questioning your feelings and wondering if what we have is what you want. As the world fell down We were absolute beginners in modern love. I still want Forever, it's not long at all.
