matty healy, falling in love over night

changing words

"so grace with the sad smile and empty vodka bottle, what's your story?"
his eyes gleamed at me, eager to know, i let the question hang in the air before i responded simply with
"so matty with the sad eyes and dirty shoes at four am, what's your story?"
chuckling he replied
"you got me there" rubbing his head he continued
"honestly i don't know, me and my girlfriend we're ... going through some stuff and i don't know ... it's just, she got me through things you know? i cant just abandon her now ... can i?"
his lingering smile faded and he turned away from me
"i do love her, don't get me wrong i do, but" he finished there
"i haven't known you long, but you were kind enough to ask if i was okay. so matty i think you deserve happiness, and if that means leaving, then i think you have to"
the smile returned and he laughed slightly
"thankyou"
we spent the next few moments completely absorbed in one another, eyes locked and hearts finding comfort
"i, i should go its late" he said jumping from the wall
"see you round" he yelled as he sauntered off into the dark air

i watched him walk into the night before climbing down from the wall and throwing the bottle away. i unlocked the house door and proceeded to go inside, taking off my nike trainers and throwing them in a corner in my room.
i got into bed and checked my phone to see a voicemail from lia
"babyyyyy why dinnt you come tonight ahahaha love you graccceyyy and allllll see you tomorrow"
giggling as i placed it on charge i shut my eyes and dreamed of the boy with wonky teeth and saddened eyes
