I miss you. (Today especially). I still find myself thinking: maybe I just need to leave, go as far as my dread may take me, but clearly, that will never change my aching heart. So I skip along alleyways, twirl under city starlight, stomp down the concrete, dancing-- Just give me one moment. Please, just let me have the isolation that's trapping me. I would give anything now to scream without anyone hearing, to die without anyone finding the body, (to find anyone that cares, truly, truly, truly). Every day I grow closer to stopping and asking the next stranger I see, "Can we pretend that you're my best friend tonight?" Can we pretend that I never left? That you never stopped caring for me? I miss you always, today especially.
