Slap me.
Slap me until your name stops coming into my thoughts every .5 seconds, I want to stop the echo that is a reminder.
Pinch me so I can wake up from the dreams I have every night, that used to be my favorite reality, but at least then I can finally hear your voice again. Speaking to me, speaking through me. Maybe alternate universes exist or maybe I took too many pills and this is dying. Because oxygen is vacuumed out of my lungs when you're sad and I need your eyes to light up like the morning sunrise I wish I could have spent staring at with you if we could even force ourselves to wake up before dawn. Perhaps soon enough I will again be drifting off into more visions of you, while listening to you sleep, feeling you breathe beneath me. Your arms are my blanket and your body my mattress, being close to you is my perfect kind of fire. But for now I will have to leave these past events and future desires in my dreams, until they can once again become my favorite reality.
I love you more than the world, you're that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. You've brought me genuine happiness, a feeling I haven't felt in years. And reading that this morning was the greatest thing ever, I literally started crying, and I'm still crying as I'm writing you this. I know we both have our own battles that we are fighting, and I honestly don't know what I would do without you, you've helped me so much.  I don't know how much I have helped with your battles, but I'm trying, and if I haven't gotten anywhere yet with them, I really hope that I will. I've never felt so close to someone in my life. You are everything to me, and the day that I **** up bad enough to lose you, will be the worst day of my life. I've realized that the words "I love you" had no meaning until I met you. Now I know what it's like to genuinely love, and I know what it's like to genuinely be loved. I love you baby, more than anything in the entire world
You say I O.K.ed
LONG DISTANCE?
O.K.ed it when?
My goodness, Central
That was then!

I'm mad and disgusted
With that ***** now.
I don't pay no REVERSED
CHARGES nohow.

You say, I will pay it--
Else you'll take out my phone?
You better let
My phone alone.

I didn't ask him
To telephone me.
Roscoe knows **** well
LONG DISTANCE
Ain't free.

If I ever catch him,
Lawd, have pity!
Calling me up
From Kansas City.

Just to say he loves me!
I knowed that was so.
Why didn't he tell me some'n
I don't know?

For instance, what can
Them other girls do
That Alberta K. Johnson
Can't do--and more, too?

What's that, Central?
You say you don't care
Nothing about my
Private affair?

Well, even less about your
PHONE BILL, does I care!

Un-humm-m! . . . Yes!
You say I gave my O.K.?
Well, that O.K. you may keep--

But I sure ain't gonna pay!

I love you, but loving you has become exhaustive
I love you, but I'm tired of your sick jokes and our senseless fights
I love you, but loving you is taking my mind away from me
I love you, but you made me turn into a person I don't like
I love you, but loving you makes me feel so bad I can't sleep
I love you,  but this is killing my soul
I love you, but I need to love myself more
I love you, but goodbye.
