When I say "I miss you" it's not just an automatic response like when people say How are you I'mfine or It wasn't my fault or You have the right to remain silent! These are just normal, day-to-day conversations and I forget we need them sometimes But I do not have the right to remain silent when after I write ten times how much I miss you, and that I think about you every time I check the mail, or make a peanutbutter sandwich, and all you write is a lousy "Lol. K." I do NOT have the right to remain silent when how much I miss you is as big as the rain, the rainbow, and the *** of gold at the end of it, when how much I miss you hurts so much that it makes me wonder what it feels like to not feel like this, I will not remain silent when you just say, 'miss u 2' because I miss you in that stalker-ish way that the waiter misses serving you your morning coffee because he thinks you're kinda cute or the way that girl always finds a way to walk by you even though you rejected her other other night and she clearly isn't over you... When I'm sick of how "I miss you" doesn't make the universe implode and it's disappointing when you don't hear everyone in the world screaming "Yes" at the same time I want you to hear the silence when you see me off at the airport, train station, wherever, I want "I miss you" backwards to spell "Because, that's why" instead of having a reason why I called you. I want to not run out of things to say when I finally call you I want "I miss you" to mean everything again, including, I love you, you're so awesome, what does your new haircut look like, and unfortunately our own lives are so messy that distance no longer makes sense But, hey, I guess our memories were worth it.
