i don’t know where you are. strangers backs look like you in the grocery store. then again, everything looks like you these days. i want to send you article links and memes. you sleep next to me at night, while i write letters begging for You back.

we watched the spot fires in the desert. sometimes we drove all night, and I'd wake up in another place. downtown lights blur in the greasy window. the road has arms, gentle, rocking me, while my parents talked in the front.

im over being anything but soft. i miss you. i love you. you hurt me. that broke me. you don’t deserve this. i don’t deserve that. i can’t finish a lot of the things i desperately need to say because they hurt so badly. im so soft for you.

dissossociation is sitting in the backseat of a car when you’re sixteen screaming to a song with friends and then suddenly opening your eyes to the apartment you live in at twenty-two

laying on the couch in the living room with your parents watching sitcoms and doing multiplication practice during the commercial, awaking to afternoon walks after working from home for eight hours.

hiding in the closet at 9, reading charlottes web until you couldn’t keep your eyes open. flying forward to carving out time in the day to sink your teeth deeper into your fantasy novel at twenty-three. time is not always a thief.

same old summer nostalgia washing over me this morning. it didn’t even provide a sweet dream of you, but a constant ringing in my chest knowing i had something worth wishing to recreate.

what does it mean that i still can’t write anything about you. what does it mean when my hands reach for every pen just to write about something else.
