Southern Illinois one day i will find the right words, and they will be simple
As I am lying in my bed, I am trying not to think of you, but all I can think about is that twenty four hours ago you were in this bed with me, and that your pillow is still crossing the halfway point of my bed, because you wanted to be closer to me, and I can't help but think about the strands of your hair that were in my bed after you left this morning, and I can't help but think about your smell that is still on my sheets and I am wondering if I need to switch bedrooms.

Sleeping Alone
We sat on opposite beds and talked about our future and I think the word "scary" was used a dozen times. I told you the truth about why I sometimes get sad- about how everything seems monotonous and irrelevant, and you seemed like you hadn't thought of it that way, but then you seemed like you really understood, and I think it maybe even made you a little sad. I told you the truth about why I get high- about how I think so much that it hurts and it's the only thing that helps. You agreed about thinking too much, and you told me that your mind flows from one thought to another too quickly and that sometimes it doesn't take a break and you have to take a moment to catch your breath, and then you felt silly that you had admitted that, and you shyly said "you know?", and I nodded, because I really do know. I let you talk most of the time, because I knew that you needed it, and because honestly, I just really like hearing your voice. You left my arms too soon because someone left something in your car, and I could tell that you were agitated, so I tried not to let it hurt too badly, and you apologized several times, and then said you would "talk to me very soon", and I tried to believe you.

I Had Been Waiting For You To Tell Me About Your Mind
