words was the sweetest lie my lips spoke / words was the sweetest lie my eyes saw / and yet, words was the bitter truth my ear heard
JULES: (sighs) I mean… I don’t know. I guess it’s– I guess it’s interesting, ’cause, like, before I ran away, uh, I had gone to the city to visit some old friends, and… we were having this exact conversation. And… Basically, um… I feel like I’ve framed my entire womanhood around men. When, like, in reality, I’m no longer interested in men. Like, philosophically. Like, like, what men want. Like, what men want is so boring. And simple, and not creative, and, like, uh… I just, like, I look at myself, and I’m like, how the f*ck did I spend my entire life building this. Like… (sighs) Like, my body, and my personality, and, like, my soul around what I think men desire? It’s just, like… it’s embarrassing. I feel like a… a fraud. ________________________________________________________ ShyGuy118: i really missed you today ShyGuy118: are u really going to nyc for college? Jules: i hope so Jules: why… you gonna come with me?? ShyGuy118: would you like that? Jules: it would be a dream JULES: Some of the most profound relationships I’ve ever had have been with people I’ve never met. I should have known I was setting myself up. Or maybe I did know. Maybe that’s, like, what I’m actually attracted to. Maybe that’s, like, the appeal. The letdown. The fact that, like, none of it’s real. And it’s all a fantasy.

I do not quite have any words for it and it is indeed impossible to describe further, but something close to it should be— melancholy. Without utter doubt, melancholy. I should stop pretending that the matter does not bother me anymore, it does. With full conviction by the heavy thud in my chest, it does. What is more saddening to this manner is that I have come to accept this resignation that there is nothing I could do about it. I've been living my life that way, by confiding into solemn retreat and actually convincing myself that there is nothing to be done. Even when in reality, there actually is.

moving on haiku
hey, do you remember that night on the first week of december? it was chilly, it was late, and i desperately need to go home. as we walk on the peaceful streets, stars above us, against the city lights... you held my hand. you reassured me repeatedly, "don't be scared, i'm here." weirdly enough, i feel safe. like everything was into place. the rest of the world don't matter. your hand intertwined with mine is enough. i wish you could still reassure me now, like you did before. that i don't have to worry about anything, i am safe because you were with me. i wish the clock would still tick on us again. i would relieve those moments over and over and over and over and now i'm alone. your nothing but a memory that will soon fade within me. it will mean nothing as time will pass. i'm truly dettached that way. so let me write what i feel on these pages. hoping they will last long that what i hope to forget.

remembering random moments when you were still mine
its been exactly one month since we parted ways. i was doing perfectly fine, but today everything started rushing back to me. an explosion of feelings. wave after wave, drowning my thoughts and my heart. it starts to ache all over again. i realized... i miss you. that's what you call this. it is not anger or sadness, nor it is the underlying wonder of constant what-ifs. it is just the plain longing of your warmth and you. just plain you. i remember us, lying in your bed. i pouted because you didn't tell me you love me today. and you laughed and whispered it to me. i started to get goosebumps all over, you know im just sensitive that way. you laughed again, held me tight so i could not escape from your grasp. pinned me down and whispered "i love yous" repeatedly. i was squealing, laughing, trying to get away from you. my goosebumps wouldn't stop. i would give anything to be back to that memory again. i wanted to remember it forever, it was so precious to me after all. i know we made mistakes, through and through. you probably did not forget them, but i already did. right now it did not matter, i just want you back to me. and that's stupid and crazy, utterly impossible. selfish and cruel to you. selfish and cruel to me. last time you told me you miss me. but that is all there is. it stops there. there's nothing we can do. i dont regret anything. you are special to me, and i hope i would not forget. that this man once was mine, and once was my everything. goodbye.

i think you are that wound that i'm afraid to look at. it hurts, and i feel every ounce of pain in my flesh and yet, i think staring at it makes the pain ten times worst. gazing at it confirms the pain. then maybe the escape to you, is that i'll tuck you in the dark. hoping i'll forget, hoping my skin would heal from any traces of you.

ur a wound to my heart (and you completely know that)
I dreamt it was the end of the world. the purple orange sky was falling crushing everything I came to know and we kept dying over and over until we did things right
