to Charlie, from Arthur

This is a letter/poem inspired for this poem (x)

Warning: this has spoilers for the first and second book, so don't read this (or the link because it'll basically ruin the whole idea) if you haven't read both of the books until the end. But if you have, enjoy.

 Remember when we first met, and you saw the way I solve crimes?

I thought you’d think me insane and leave, but you didn’t.

Remember when I went to confront the killer?

I thought you’d slap me when I came back, but you didn’t.

Remember when I started drinking and made a fool of myself?

I thought I’d wake and you’d have left, but you didn’t.

Remember when you left me on New Year’s Eve?

I thought you left for good, but you didn’t.

Remember when you poured your heart out the night I couldn’t sleep?

I thought that was the time you were supposed to move on, but you didn’t.

Yes, there a lot of things you didn’t do.

But, you loved me, changed me, and gave me the best time of my life.

And I thought we’d be together until the last moment.

But you didn’t.
