I watched you try on suits in Hugo Boss.‘For the big job,’ you said. And I laughed, because I knew I would never see it. I’d never get up and watch you put it on and walk out of the door. I would never be the one that you came home to. ↗

We talk online, we ‘friend’ each other when we don’t know who we are really talking to – we fuck strangers.
