"You're the one I like. Everyone can see it, so why can't you?" Xie Lin softly coaxed Ren Sensen, whose eyes were red. "There, there. Don't cry."
"I just can't see it! That's what I get for you always saying you like someone else!"
But the person I've always liked is you.

Ren Sensen breathed softly against his ear. "Then make one."

When I loved you, you soared high beneath clear skies.
When you loved me, I drifted untethered across the world.
