I drove twenty minutes out of my way today, just for the chance to run into you. I stayed long after my exam was done, just so I could maybe bump into you in the hall. I stare at your contact in my phone, just in case you can feel me and get the urge to call. I wore the jeans I know you like today, I wanted to feel beautiful for you. I didn't see you though.... I don't know if you're avoiding me, or if I just have bad timing. But I know I haven't heard from you in a week. And I don't know if I know why. I don't regret kissing you, even though we knew we shouldn't have. I don't need you to rearrange your life. I don't want to be your girlfriend. I don't have the capacity for that right now. But I miss talking to you every night, I miss the butterflies I got at your stupid jokes. And I miss the way you make me smile. I miss the way you look at me like I am everything. I miss the way you make me feel like I could love again. I wish I could tell you how I feel. I wish you could really understand this. I really wish I my emotions were coherent enough for that. I just wish you would just come back to me. If only things had been different, back when you first said hello. Maybe we could have had a chance then

Dear Joey,
I drove twenty minutes out of my way today, just for the chance to run into you. I stayed long after my exam was done, just so I could maybe bump into you in the hall. I stare at your contact in my phone, just in case you can feel me and get the urge to call. I wore the jeans I know you like today, I wanted to feel beautiful for you. I didn't see you though.... I don't know if you're avoiding me, or if I just have bad timing. But I know I haven't heard from you in a week. And I don't know if I know why. I don't regret kissing you, even though we knew we shouldn't have. I don't need you to rearrange your life. I don't want to be your girlfriend. I don't have the capacity for that right now. But I miss talking to you every night, I miss the butterflies I got at your stupid jokes. And I miss the way you make me smile. I miss the way you look at me like I am everything. I miss the way you make me feel like I could love again. I wish I could tell you how I feel. I wish you could really understand this. I really wish I my emotions were coherent enough for that. I just wish you would just come back to me. If only things had been different, back when you first said hello. Maybe we could have had a chance then
