Lesbian Romance Coming of Age

I can see it now. Her and I. Thriving business, new home, dates, proposal, wedding day, kids.


I can see it now. and "Us" instead of a "Her and I"


Our future beyond cupcakes and frosting

Beyond the dinner and waitressing in Brooklyn

Beyond our dead-end apartment

Beyond waking up at 5 am every day only to come back exhausted

Beyond living in the same building as Sophie

Beyond you calling me only Max

Beyond me calling you only Caroline

Beyond living in our illegal apartment

Beyond never answering the wall phone

Beyond wearing yellow and red uniforms every day

Beyond Han being the boss of us

Beyond Oleg and his stupid jokes

Beyond all our ex-boyfriends

Beyond Chesnut living n a small backyard

Beyond you and I sleeping in separate rooms

Beyond you only being my best friend

Beyond you only having one nice dress

Beyond you having everything you want

Beyond you living a better life

Beyond you being my princess

Beyond me being your princess

Beyond me protecting you all the time

Beyond you never being scared again

Beyond you never feeling alone again

Beyond you never being cold again

Beyond you only seeing me as Max, your best friend

Beyond you seeing me as more

Beyond me kissing you goodnight every night

Beyond me kissing you good morning every morning

Beyond us sneaking into your penthouse and night

Beyond us sneaking into public events to get our business ahead

Beyond you not having a bedroom

Beyond you sleeping on a bed that's also our wall

Beyond me sneaking glances at you

Beyond me not having to sneak glances at you and really admire your beauty

Beyond that every time we touch I get this fantastic feeling

Beyond me only having that feeling with you

Beyond me having to hide my feelings for you

Beyond Caroline knowing Max adores her

Beyond everything, we could accomplish together

Beyond you realizing you're in love with me too

Beyond all those nights where you're so scared, you come to me for safety

Beyond all the nights you come in and check on me to make sure I'm ok

Beyond that one kiss, we gave each other on TV

Beyond us being an "us" instead of "Max and Caroline"

Beyond me gazing into your blue eyes every night as we lay in bed and go to sleep

Beyond you playing with my hair which you often do and I pretend I hate but secretly love

Beyond all those nights we get wasted and the next day we call in sick to work

Beyond all the nights you could sleep in my arms

Beyond all those cupcake shops we've bought

Beyond us working 24/7

Beyond us finally settling down and relaxing

Beyond my heart breaking every time I see a guy flirt with you

Beyond my instinct to step in and protect you when you're in danger

Beyond the way you hold on to me when you're uncomfortable or scared

Beyond the snow day, the day we stared into each other eyes after I caught you while we stood in the snow

Beyond how you're my top priority

Beyond how you will always be my favorite

Beyond how much I love you.

We are Beyond

We made it.

We have a successful business

We finally broke out of Brooklyn

We have a stable job

We are the way you realized you love me too

We became each other's world

We are each other's priority

We are each other's love

We are each other's safe place

We don't have to sleep in different rooms anymore

We are in love

We are each other's, girlfriends

We are an "us" I'll never regret telling you how I feel about you

We are no longer "Max and Caroline"

We are no longer seprate

We are together

We are the late-night conversations that last all night

We are the way you play with my hair

We are the way I stare into your blue eyes

We are the way I stare at you and admire your beauty

We are the way we never let go of each other

We are the way I care for you endlessly

We are the way I don't only call you, Caroline

We are the way you don't only call me, Max

We are the way we adore each other

We are the way we would die for each other

We are the way we always protect each other

We are each others, princesses

We are each other's soulmates

We are a relationship everyone wishes they had

We are the way that you randomly jump into my arms and you trust me to catch you

We are the way we only go to bars to show the other one-off and remind the other people how pathetic they are not to have one of us as their girlfriend

We are the way that one summer at the pool I picked you up and screamed "This is my girlfriend! I'm going to marry this girl!" and you giggled and kissed me right then and there in front of everyone

We are the way we spend those late nights in each other's arms all-day

We are the way when some days you come home upset and crying and you run into my arms for safety

We are the way you try to get me out of the house more because I hate going out, but I go out because you want me too

We are the way that every time I kiss you, you taste like candy

We are the way that every time you come up behind me and kiss me I get crazy butterflies

We are the way that every time we go out in public I enjoy showing you off

We are the way that you show me off all the time and get protective which I love

We are the way that when we first kissed, we were outside star gazing, you looked into my eyes ad kissed me and I melted into our kiss

We are One.


We are the day that I proposed to you on the beach you cried and said yes as I put the ring on your finger and you jumped into my arms and screamed "This is my fiance Max George Black! She is the most amazing woman to ever walk the face of the earth and I'm going to marry her and you're not! I'm so in love with her!" And while I was still carrying you, you kissed me right there on the beach and I lowered you on the sand and we made out right there like it was just us in the world


We are wives now, and there is nothing else I would rather be


I Love You Caroline <3
