they went everywhere together, did everything together

just being around her, it didnt matter where they went or what they did

none of that made any difference to him

the time, place, the activity, whatever it was

he just was happy they were able to spend time together

and that meant everything to him

and she would never know any of this

until, and unless he was able to show

it was hard for him to do it verbally, so he wrote a bunch of stories instead

more - a story about why this took so long –

the more i kept doing this

the more i think it’s not enough

the more i do this

the more things i keep changing

the more i do this

the more things i find to add

the more i do this

the harder it is for me to finish

because

the more i do this

i stop myself

because

the more i do this

the more im scared

and the longer it takes

the more i think it's not enough

maybe something so simple shouldn't be so difficult

or take so long

there's so much that isn't in here,

but when he more time,

he would eventually be able to tell her everything
