First Edition

In the world of faded echoes, I stand battered and broken, as worthless as a relic of an antiquated casino token! The cosmos, in its infinite design, bestows its blessings on chosen few. Yet, my friend, it bypasses both me and you.

Two souls entwined by life's cruel game, we can forge a bond from our shared misfortune's flame. You could be my Bonnie, and I, your steadfast Clyde. In this narrative, you the groom, I the bitter bride. Take my hand, let's traverse these streets with grace, make the common folk envious of our embrace. Let's weave our hopes and dreams so tight, my river only flows upstream in the moon's soft light.

In the kitchen, we'll cook as if it's forever, our love so genuine, it can't be severed. We'll delve into each other's deepest fears, collecting scars like treasured souvenirs. Together, we'll set the world ablaze, sit in quiet awe, watching it all turn to haze. We'll keep the ashes of the old world in a metaphorical urn, as a reminder of the lessons we've learned.

For your laughter, I'd scale mountains so high, for your smile, I'd paint the endless sky. Your face, each flaw I'll celebrate, for you've thawed the frozen chambers of my heart's state. Our story, my love, is an original tome, not a copy, nor found on a forgotten floppy. This love, so rare, almost extinct, a first edition, with ancient ink distinctly inked.

Hold me close, but grant me space to breathe, for when fear arises, I may tend to leave. Let my soul roam free, once held captive in my youth, the shadows of the past, a haunting, unfading truth. The chilling thoughts concealed in my head, some I dare not unveil, the darkest days I've seen, I struggle to conceal. It's the tear-soaked shoulder that earns its glory, in this story, yet unfinished, unwritten, and gory.
