Social Communication

Hashtag done. Hashtag I give up. Hashtag tired. Hashtag alone. All we ever talk about anymore is hashtags and Instagram and texts and snapchat. I'm done. I miss the face to face contact. The way someone's eyes light up or dim down in reaction to something. I miss the way your hand feels when you place it on mine. I miss your hugs. And I miss your voice. And I'm able to talk about anything with you over a text message, but I'm afraid that you don't want to talk to me, person to person. I like to think that we have a great friendship, but I realize that we don't. You FaceTime and call other people, but you won't do that for me. I try to initiate more conversation than we have, but I feel like you hold back. I pour some of my heart out into a message that I sent and your only response is an emoji. I'm hurt. As childish as it sounds, I'm hurt. I'm broken and I feel like you keep taking pieces of me away. I'm broken and I wish you would actually talk and listen to me instead of typing it out. I miss you because there's no one else and I'm sorry that there isn't. I don't mean to burden you with everything that's wrong, but when you say that you're there for me, I expect you to follow through. I miss you a lot. And I need you to know that. Because you mean so much to me. And I know I don't mean as much to you...
