dear lukas,
i know we just met, but you give me stomach pains. we've talked before, crossed paths. we've lived in the same building for a few weeks now. i just didn't know how to tell you i liked you. do i give you stomach pains too? that means that you love someone.
lukas nodded, but the stomach pains were now in his heart
im sorry you got sucked in, i was having such a good time. you made me so happy. i haven't been happy in so long, lukas. it hurts. so bad, like being in a blizzard that never ends with only a sprint jacket to keep you warm. but you protected me for a night.
lukas's eyes started to well up, this boy was gone and lukas didn't do anything.
it's not your fault, okay? this was my choice. i just wanted you to know i love you. and look out for my mom, please. and don't be afraid to tell your dad the truth. and i'm sorry about your mom. i love you i love you i love you.
-a temporary love for a night,
phillip shea
and lukas cried
