I wish my head would stop turning in the direction of my phone, waiting with batted breath for the writing of text, an indication you're still awake. I wish I wouldn't fill up with overwhelming waters of disappointment, because I already know that you won't reply. I wish you would text me first because I don't want to seem clingy. I wish I could stop my eyes from glancing at your name every five seconds, wishing it was a name belonging to a person I didn't want to need. I wish I didn't miss you so late at night.
