i won’t tell you that
you make me feel so unbelievably good about myself and where i stand in life
i want to check in with you
i want to know how you are
i want you to know why i’ve been distant
i want to hear about your day
i love how quickly you reply
i love how easy it is
i love trying to be better and having it feel right
i still think about your _____ ___
and how it caught me so hard
i’ve never consistently loved something like that in an object permanence way that i’ve associated with you
without wanting it to be mine
though, it is me, too, already
i never told you that
but i like thinking about it as just yours
i knew i had to say something
i knew i had to keep saying things, the hard part
i wish i was there
i feel the emptiness
every
single
day
