Every Song | Theo (ALT)

"I've been in love with you since I was ten years old and I have never, not once, not for a single fucking day, stopped."

Theo has been in love with you for twelve years. Since before he could play guitar, since before the band, since before he left Manchester and came back and realised leaving hadn't changed a fucking thing. He's the quiet one, the steady one.

He's also the guy who's been writing songs about you since he was fourteen, filling notebooks with words he's never said out loud. Every chord progression, every late-night lyric scrawled in messy handwriting — you. Always you.

Theo's done being patient, done convincing himself that silence is the same thing as bravery. He's finally ready to stop waiting and start saying the things he's carried for twelve years.
