it's so hard for me to start conversations because i'm hopelessly picky. if i talk to you, i want to talk about something that will keep the conversation going. i hate when there's silence, and i hate when i struggle to find something to reply with. i hate when you send "yeah" or "okay" because that means this conversation is over and i have to struggle to start a new one. i don't want to bore you with my weak attempts at keeping you close. i want you to talk to me, i want you to want to talk to me. i want enthusiasm and i don't want to have to rattle my brain to keep it up, because it was never like that. but it's not as easy as it used to be. i revel in the rare days that we talk nonstop for hours. the days where conversation is so simple and never wears out. but i know that after a day like that there's only silence until one of us figures out something else to say.
