Missing you. It's annoying.

It really gets under my skin the way I don't hear from you in a couple of days and I become this sullen, anxiety ridden mouse that burrows her nose in the pages of books, filling her mind with the troubles of made up characters so she doesn't have to deal with her own feelings and problems and life.

 

Is it possible to feel like a mouse and an elephant at the same time?

You make me feel so small while I fumble around and destroy anything with the smallest of movements.

I hate missing you.

It's like my heart is fighting a cheese grater.

Yes. A cheese grater.

I try so hard not to even think about you sometimes I'm sure everyone can just see it on my face.

But I try.

I write. I talk to other guys, even though I find them so dull I want to throw personalities at them and pray it hurts.

I have so many more actual life problems that are right here, screaming in my face.

I need to focus on school.

But I'm missing you.

I need to lose these extra 10 pounds.

But I'm wallowing and missing you.

I need to finish that scarf I started knitting ages ago.

Stop.

I don't have time to miss you.

There are books I haven't read yet

and recipes I haven't tried and people I haven't met and places I haven't seen.

But I'm wanting your arms around me.

And I know this doesn't even make sense.

But I'm missing you.
