"becoming more than just friends

"Thank you-" Evan replied

"For what?" He replied

"For calling me a b*tch - I deserved that" Evan replied

"You're welcome-" he replied

"I should be thanking you-" Evan replied

"For what?" he replied

"For being nice to me - I should be apologizing to you-" Evan replied

"Eh - you don't have to- you don't need to apologize-" he replied

"Yes I do, I've been a horrible friend - I should have visited you more- I know you had problems when I met you and I should have listened- I was mean to you too-" Evan replied

"Eh - you're not a horrible friend - just a little weird sometimes-" he replied

"I'll try to be a better friend-" Evan replied

"Just promise me you'll try-" he replied

"I promise-" Evan replied

"Good, now can I ask you something?" He replied

"Yup" Evan replied

"Why did you change?" he asked

"What?" Evan replied

"what do you mean what? you were a whinny b*tch-but also a shameless bastard- and now you're trying to be my friend again why?" he replied

"I thought you wanted to be friends?" Evan replied

"I do - but why do you want to be friends with me? I wasn't exactly nice to you either-" he replied

"You're not nice to everyone - I think that's what makes you so interesting-" Evan replied

"I'm just afraid of you - and that makes me want to be your friend-" he replied

"I'm sorry - that really sucks" Evan replied

"Eh - it's fine - I'm used to it" he replied

"Can I ask you another question?" Evan replied

"Sure" he replied

"Why did you change?" Evan asked

"I don't know - I guess I just got tired of being afraid-" he replied

"Yeah me too-" Evan replied

David P.o.v.

We sat in silence for a few minutes and watched the leaves on the tree outside start to move in the wind.

"So how are you doing?" I ask

"I'm okay - I'm glad I found you" he replied

"Me too - I missed you too" I replied

"Eh - we're friends now so it doesn't really matter - I'm glad you found me" he replied

"Me too" I replied

"What do you want to do now?" he asked

"I dunno, I think I just wanted to talk to you" I replied

"Good - because I wanted to talk to you too" he replied

"You did?" I replied

"Yeah - I wanted to ask you something-" he replied

"What?" I asked

"I wanted to know if you liked me" he replied

"Of course, I like you" I replied

"Really?" he replied

"Yeah" I replied

"So then will you go out with me?" he replied

"I-I-I don't know- you know that I'm dead- would you really be interested in dating a ghost? and I can't do much- I can't hold your hand or hug you- I don't have an incorporable body-" I replied

"I would be interested in dating you regardless-" he replied

"But-" I replied

"But nothing, just say yes" he replied

"Yes" I replied

We both smiled at each other for a few minutes - and then a few more - and soon were laughing and smiling non-stop

"So I guess we're officially dating now" Evan said, smiling

"Yeah, I guess so-" I replied

had I really agreed to this?

I mean I hated to admit it but I did have feelings for Evan - and he liked me too

but I've never been in love before at least not with someone real - unless you count myself

I guess I'll have to do - I'll be here after all

You're the best friend I could ever ask for - you'll always be there for me - I'm glad I found you

I really felt like that was real writing - which kind of scared me since I've never really written a 'relationship' poem before - and I hope you like it

I know I do

I'll never know if my feelings were real or not - I mean who knows? We could be anything.

Maybe we're just friends - but the thought of being with Evan forever and ever had a certain appeal to it.

I could feel my heart beat out of my chest

if I still had one- in this case, it was because of My soul not knowing that I had one

but Evan made me realize that I had been so focused on myself that I hadn't seen all the good things in life - and I guess I needed to start seeing those good things if I was to continue existing,

so that was my choice to make - do I want to continue living or am I content to be dead?

Do I want to be with Evan forever or do I just want to be alone and forget about the world until the end of my days? I couldn't just leave Evan behind and I would learn how to love him

even though it was hard and it was all so confusing but I could work through it

because he was my everything- he was my new house- and he had made it bright

despite his name meaning something completely different he was my new me

and I was his.
