YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST LINE OF THIS STORY IS? I'LL SHOW YOU

He’s a wonderful boy with a heartbreaking beauty
Blinding sunlight washed through my curtains and the first rays of morning chased the darkness away. I lay here in bed, dreaming of blue sunsets and midnights everlasting. Today would be the first anniversary of our break-up, I thought, trudging to the kitchen to find Kibum working gracefully on a breakfast for two, I smiled, Would be.
He’s a wonderful boy who has beautiful nightmares
We were bundled together on the living room couch, caught up in a tacky soap opera with way too much crying. I closed my eyes, feeling his arms move onto my back, my skin burning at his fingertips. I could tell a story from his touch and the way it silently grazed my soul; a story of dying stars and frayed hope.
He’s a wonderful boy whose sins are for you
I had forgiven him, obviously, much sooner than I could have hoped. Two days without him and an eternity of longing; that’s what it took me to find that he did this all for me. He did this to make me find the red in a world of colorblind happiness.
He’s a wonderful boy who carries your invisible world
I see how he carries a world of worry on his shoulders, how it has grown with everlasting guilt and fear of the worst. I look at him, smiling, and whisper as I hold him in my arms “Put the world down for a while”. He looks back at me, eyes filled with newfound hope and a hand on my cheek; he whispers back “I can’t. Not when you’re such a big part of it.”
And I felt an otherwise unknown weight lift off my chest as his lips pressed against mine, a new color brightening in his eyes as I studied the contrast of our kiss.
He’s a wonderful boy whose name is the air I breathe.
