Your boyfriend was the cutest boy ever. Tall, skinny with dark blonde, messy hair and deep brown eyes. He was so adorable.

You met him at age 16 in college and were instantly struck by his shyness. After getting to know him, you realised he was the most precious, interesting man ever. Apparently, from year 8-11, he didn’t talk at all and was completely mute. He also read classic books frequently. Simon Riley was the smartest boy you knew.

Simon thought you were adorable. The way you collected china pieces, vinyls and plants. The little cute obsessions you had. How much you talked compared to his frequent silence.
