HOW TO LOVE A VAMPIRE
//
First, acquaint yourself with darkness.
Be ready never to see his face.
There's no point to photographs –
expect your facebook wall to be blank.
Love only in the evenings.
You won't see him during the day.
Remember you're chained together.
Forever is your fate.
Never cook with garlic.
Make enough for only one plate.
You will always be the final course –
and you better not make him wait.
Don't complain about your bloody lip.
Always give more than you take.
And when you can no longer stand it,
end him with a stake.
