I do not want to feel the pain of missing you. I don't want to walk to the end of my street without a hand to hold, and I don't want to stare at sunsets alone. I don't want to sit next to an empty swing at the parks we roamed, and I don't want to only bid you goodnight through meaningless letters. I don't wish to seek the comfort you bring, and the dull ache that follows when you can't. I don't wish to be so dependent on your presence. I do not want to love you in the way not spending time with you stakes me. But I still love you in the way missing you means ultimate sadness.
