   Summary

   How fast can you fall in love if you don’t hide who you are?

   “I don’t know…” He tailed off, searching for words, his pupils widening as his gaze turned inwards. “I always felt so wrong. There are these broken parts of me that …,” He paused, looking for words as his eyes teared up. “That will never properly heal, or, if they do, there’ll always be scars. But I feel like there’s something fundamental inside me that is broken.” He turned to look at Wille, tears streaming down his face towards the pillow which was Wille’s arm.

   “I’m not sure how to say this but what you said, that’s exactly how I feel. About myself I mean.” Wille held his gaze, and adjusted his body so he could caress Simon’s back and neck as he spoke. “It feels like you’re speaking words and thoughts and feelings from my own mind. It’s…it should be eerie, except it feels the complete opposite.” His mouth twitched, and a muscle in his chin kept moving. “It feels like you’re looking right into the deepest, darkest corners of my soul. Such a cliché.”

   This is a love story written to my young self, and to everybody who has ever felt unlovable and wrong and broken.
