I’m fighting the urge to talk to you.
I keep typing out the message and erasing it at the last minute.
Hoping that if I keep doing that you might text first.
But you won’t.
Neither of us will.
It’s been settled now,
It’s all over
We said goodbye to each other on that late night drive last year,
Call it our own little leaving party.
We both live in the same area but will never talk again.
And that’s okay
It’s safer that way
For me at least
But sometimes,
I miss having someone to talk to.
I wish I could talk to you.
I want to tell you about the books I’ve been reading and the places I’ve visited that I know you’d love.
But I can’t.
And that’s okay.
I miss having you to talk to.
