Weeks have gone by since we last spoke. You're currently on the other side of the world right now, and I want so badly for you to just stay there. My hometown is much better when you aren't here. I can go to the store, to our favorite restaurant, past your work, and I don't even worry about you seeing me. I find myself looking for your car in parking lots and on the freeway. The "junk" sticker your friend strategically placed on your bumper, still burns in my head. I look for the yellow 'w' on your mothers Honda. I find myself doing this all the time. While I'm at coffee with a friend. Stuck behind green lights. Daydreaming at work. It's so strange. I'm so scared to see you again. I have this love love hate whatever feeling stuck in the pits of my stomach. It's not as though I'm confused. I knew what you were doing. I guess I just have this urge to spite you, but not quite. I made out with two boys in one day, so I just figured you should know that. I want so badly for you to see me and for you to want me more than you ever have in your life. I want to turn you down, until you are crumpled paper that I can set fire to. It's crazy how sadness turns into anger in a matter of time. Every single time I hear that song, part of me wants to cry, But as a whole, i have no tears left in my being. I wish you saw me when I was depressed. I guess I wish you would have understood what you put me through. I guess I wish you could read this. Being without you feels good, but lonely at the same time. I don't know.. I should have dumped you a long time ago You still come up in daily conversations... "Oh me and so and so used to do that..." I think at some point that will go away.. I'm doing better now. I hope it lasts.
