Monika

I'm sorry for being so quiet the first time we met. Truth is that in my head, I couldn't stop writing poems about your eyes.
[delete]
2. I still dream about your hands.
[delete]
3. I can't stop playing with matches now. I remember how much you loved fire.
[delete]
4. I can still taste you on my lips.
[delete]
5. How could you walk away so easily? You can't tell me it wasn't real. [delete]
6. I love you....do you understand?
[delete]
7. There's a guy in my English class with the same colored eyes as you.
[delete]
8. I've tried loving anyone with your accent. None of them say my name the way you do.
[delete]
9. I can't sleep anymore. I keep waiting for you to wish me goodnight.
[delete]
10. I miss you.
[delete]
11. The moon is full and beautiful tonight and I can't stop thinking of you.
[delete]
12. Will you come count the stars with me?
[delete]
13. Remember when you complimented my poems? I wonder if you knew that they were all about you.
[delete]
14. Are you thinking of me, too?
[delete]
15. You always said you were addicted to me. Tell me, are you going through withdrawals?
[delete]

How are you?
I miss you
I hope you're doing fine
I'm a lost cause without you

20 Texts I Almost Sent You (continued)

are you doing well? i hope you are.
(deleted)

christmas is coming up. all i really wanted was to spend it with you.
(deleted)

it's becoming increasingly difficult to rest without your soft breaths to lull me to sleep.
(deleted)

every single poem i've written in the last two months has been about you.
(deleted)

i hear your laugh in mine, sometimes.
(deleted)

your voice is the only thing that occupies my mind now. you've taken me over completely.
(deleted)

i'm not sure if you broke my heart or if i broke my own heart by letting you in.
(deleted)

do you write about me like you used to?
(deleted)

remember when we watched the great gatsby together? i still look at you like gatsby looked at daisy.
(deleted)

you mean everything to me. you always have.
(deleted)

i hate that i can't stop loving you. why was it so easy for you to stop loving me?
(deleted)

you are my augustus waters.
(deleted)

in the famous words of kate moss: "you're in my veins, you ****."
(deleted)

i am always wanting to start a conversation with you, but never knowing how to start it.
(deleted)

i think i love you more than i did before. i'm sorry it took us to separate for me to realize that.
(deleted)

i am in tears while writing this. it seems that whenever i think about you my eyes betray me.
(deleted)

i am still trying to figure out where we went wrong.
(deleted)

i had expected to feel bitter after you left. all i feel is nostalgic.
(deleted)

despite everything, i honestly hope you are happy.
(deleted)

i think i'll always get butterflies when i think about our first kiss. i'll always get butterflies
when i think about you, and what we used to have.

You told me that if I was going to hate myself... I had to hate you too. I couldn't do that. What did you mean?

I still love you
I want this to work
you make me so angry
I can't live without you
I want to punch you in the face
why did you do this to me?
what did I do to deserve this?
come back to me

my chest hurts. my heart aches. everything about you from the way your lips tasted to how I got chills down my spine from just one touch makes me want to explode [delete]

the blood running down my wrist contains the words you said but never meant [delete]
