We Could Have Been Us

(This is all written from memory so sorry if I miss some stuff)

(Written from Crowley’s pov)

I needed to tell you something

but you had to go first

And so I let you

That was a mistake

You said you had good news

that you were promoted

You could be in charge

As supreme archangel

And, to put the cherry on top

You could have anyone

as your second in command

And you had chosen me

I couldn’t believe you, at first

After all, we’re better than that

You are better than that

But it was true

I could see the excitement

Slip away from your eyes

When you realized that

I wouldn’t go with you

And before I knew it

I was rushing to say

what I had wanted to say

from the very beginning

How we have known each other

for a long time

How we could always

rely on each other

We have always been

a team

A group

of the two of us

I tried to convince you to stay

Because we don’t need heaven

And we don’t need hell

All we ever needed was us

I tell you so, and all you do

is reiterate your wonderful plan

The plan where we’re both angels

Doing good together in heaven

I’m choking back tears

And I say, “You can’t leave

this bookshop”

‘You can’t leave me’

And with such a kind,

tender voice, you say,

“Oh Crowley,

Nothing lasts forever.”

‘Nothing lasts forever,

Not this bookshop

Not you

And certainly not us’

I feel my heart break

as I slip my sunglasses on

And walk away,

bidding you good luck

As you beg me to stop

I tell you to listen

And you admit that

you can’t hear anything

“That’s the point” I say

“No nightingales”

At that, you seem to understand

What I’m implying

I called you an idiot

That this whole time

We could have been

Us

I get an idea

It’s a last ditch effort

But at this point

Anything will do

I rush back to you

grab you by the collar

pull you close

and kiss you

And when we pull apart

I look you in the eyes

Desperately trying to see

A change of heart

But instead I see you

steeling your nerves

And you tell me

you forgive me

But I don’t need

Your forgiveness

All I ever needed

was you

So don’t bother

trying to forgive me

Don’t bother

forgiving a demon

But I wait by my car, just in case

You happen to change your mind

But all I see is you leaving

Choosing heaven over me

I climb into the Bentley

And turn on the radio

It doesn’t do to much good

It’s playing our song

So I turn it back off

And lean back on the seat

And I think to myself

‘We could have been us.’

You’ve grown into someone who would have protected you as a child. And that is the most powerful move you made.

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

to say i miss you doesn't even begin to capture the despair your absence has brought me.
