"I am forever in alongside the boys in jumpers
On bikes from schools and cars
With autumn leaves fallen sparse across the mid-afternoon.
She blazed about how cultural language is an operating system,
A simple interface rendered feeble and listless
When tested with a divinity or a true understanding of the human condition
I never did understand the duality of art and reality,
Living life and treating it as such but with a certain disconnect
To touch that cajoles at the artist with comfort and abandon
And between the spires and rolling roofs of the white city,
That orange, English light cast only one, singular shadow
For you are not beside but within me"
- Loving Someone, the 1975

i like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful - yet so unaware of it
i like it when you sleep, for i can go outside alone amongst the due and feel at last and one with you
i like it when you sleep, for it is where the worries meet with all desires complex and small that materialise upon your wall.
i like it when you sleep, for smoking is great and i do alot more without you awake
i like it when you sleep, for the things missed too and to know i'm alive longer than you
i like it when you sleep, for the infinite sadness of London and loses and fold out matress
i like it when you sleep, for the reasons i can't so i jealously squirm and count moles on your arms
i like it when you sleep, forgive me my dear for all the cocaine has imprisoned me here
i like it when you sleep, for i'm guilty of work and match of the day and the girls that twerk
i like it when you sleep, for my return after weeks is an incomplete feeling when you are not dreaming
i like it when you sleep, for during the day your breath lacks character
i like it when you sleep, for i swear i'll protect her from the wheedling, redolent, saccharine nectar
i like it when you sleep, for there are cracks in my ceiling that i know like the back of my heart - and to learn of your body in half of that manner was something desired from the start
i like it when you sleep, forbidden i sit in my chair for a bit
i like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful - yet so unaware of it
January 6, 2015: Matty shares a typewritten poem "i like it when you sleep". (source 1, 2)

Sure you could fall in love with me but would you put up glow in the dark stars all over our bedroom walls with me? Would you paint our mailbox fun colors with me? Would you make pancakes in silly shapes and buy knickknacks we’ll never use and pick up hobbies we won’t stick to with me? Would you live and be silly and be a little dumb and be a genius and be confident and lazy and kind and angry and everything? Would you give me absolutely every side of yourself that you can??
