Simply because it always seems safer when people don’t know everything, when you open up to someone it gives them the chance to treat you differently.

i’m getting bad again but i’m too tired care

maybe i’m too

optimistic

about love

e.c.

I miss you

That’s the truth of it. There’s an empty space inside my heart, in the shape of your smile and it echoes your laughter as if to pretend it’s mine, there’s a record tape in my head, replaying the way we talked and grinned and joked like we had all the time in the world and we were each other’s universes. You carved a home in me, and when you left, you took a part of it with you. Because I’m still thinking of you. It’s late at night and I should be sleeping but instead, I’m clutching at the fragments of our memories together, and they sting like shards of glass. I bleed, because I’ve already cried all my tears for you, and I’m willing to give and give and give until you finally see how much I need you back. But you’re not watching. You’ve moved on, to better things and better people. So I shouldn’t, but,

I miss you.

I wish there was never reason for you to cry, but when there is I’ll hold you close, I’ll keep you safe
