I like you just because you're you.
We've weathered some storms
And held out for sunny days.
First, the rain - then the rainbow.
You've been by my side through thick and thin.
Thick-headed comments, thin wallets.
Thick snow, thinly veiled compliments.

I like you just because you're you.
You share with me.
Anything you own and anything on your mind.
You also share my stuff and listen to me.
You're kind and loving.
Our intimacy helps me feel wanted
And makes me want you all the more.
I like you
Just because.

The Forsyth House Fire
Since 1851, Forsyth House has stood on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street in the heart of Glasgow. Its iconic, or was... because on Sunday 8th of March, 2026, a fire broke out in a small, seemingly un-named shop in the building and tore all that history down. As I write, the rubble is still unsettled and the street is still blocked off. Central Station is quiet on the upper level, and around 30 small businesses have quite literally gone up in smoke.
