i'm so proud of you
my heart is absolutely brimming
with adoration
my eyes brimming with salty tears
because this is the beginning of the end

i wanted to stay so i could say
all of the things i didn't wanna say over text
but i left.
because i couldn't bear
for you to see me cry

i imagined kissing you on the football field
as if we were young and in love
but you're leaving for combat
and i can't imagine waiting
for so long, all of those months without you

you promised to write, right ?
i wanna hear from you.
what would i do without you
yanking me through freshman year
like you had me on a leash

i watched you walk across the stage
accept what you've been waiting for since you arrived
before i even knew you
and i don't wanna confess i cried
but i ******* bawled

i watched you wink for the camera
the pose you stole from me
at ava's camera, that stupid girl...
the one that took you from me
wasted time from my life

i watched you walk and wink
like it was the last time i'd ever see your sparkly eyes
like it was the last time i'd ever see your affluent smile
the whole world is waiting for you, m
and you'll be living your life without me.
graduation was horrible i almost just lost all self-control

say it back, say it back, say it back...

--

how many times do i have to say it before he finally says it back ?

--

matias, i love you
i love you because you're strong
not only physically,
(but all of your muscle never fails to impress me)
you're so emotionally intact

everything you do has purpose
and you're so intellectually developed
mentally unhealthy but so in touch with your emotions
i wanna be like you
though after i taught you how to feel, it was like i became numb

--

how many times do i have to tell him before i finally get mad ?

--

m, ava does not deserve you.
she lacks all possible value.
her only motive in life is to get her overused hole filled
i live to demoralize her worth, i swear
such a useless girl. her parents must be disappointed.

she took you away from me
making me feel absolutely dejected
to where if i passed you in the halls, i'd burst into tears
and the senior class around me
would ask why the freshman is crying over a senior.

--

how many times do i have to say if before i finally feel useless ?

--

matias, i've offered you everything since day one
you've always seen the more vulnerable side of me
reading my poetry and sharing your own with me
we've always been close.
more than i'd like, i hate to admit.

and i knew you were special
when you called me out on my *******
the day when we were alone after the pep rally
you called me out on my coquettish ****, with the uniform skirt
telling me you saw right through my little act

--

how many times do i have to say it before it finally becomes meaningless ?

--

matias, i love you
to the point where i unconsciously depend on you
to make me happy
because the thought of you makes me content
i feel okay with myself when i've fulfilled your needs.

i wanna be your person
the one you look to for support
you stopped for some stupid girl
who manipulated you with her own tactics
to get inside your pants.

and you fell for it
and i fell for you
and you left me at my darkest point in life
and i know you know freshman year is no joke
so why the **** would you leave like that ?

--

how many times did i have to say it before he finally said it back ?

--

♡             i lost count.

                                                 "oh my ******* god-- i can't do this anymore."
                                                       ­                  "i don't know how to help you."

"i'm sorry, baby."
"i don't mean to make you mad."


                                                         ­                 "yeah ? well, you are. heavily."
                                                       ­      "and i've never felt this way about you"
                                                       "so i don't know how to ******* handle it"
                                                             ­                                      "i feel useless."

"maybe i'm hurting you."
"you're just a little girl."
"i need to figure my own **** out."


                                                         ­                        "no, don't take it like that."

"then how am i supposed to take it ??"

                                                           ­  ...
                                                             ­                      "take it as a compliment."
                               "you and i are so connected, that you feel like a part of me.
                             except you're like the part of me that i can't control. and that
                                                        makes me mad. it makes me feel helpless."
                            "like, i'm exhausted. i love you, but this is exhausting on us."

"..us ?"

                                                            ­                                        "oh my ****."
                                                          ­                                            "oh my god."
                                                           ­                                       "you're joking."
                                                      "y­ou can't just dump your whole life on me"
                                                             ­                 "and think there's not an us."

"no, baby, i know what you mean."

                                                        ­                                       "oh, thank ****."
                                                          ­              "i was about to get really angry."
                                                         ­              "i could feel my skin heating up."

                                                           ­                  "i don't know what to do, m."

"me either."
"i guess this'll just have to be another thing we'll just figure out, yeah ?"
"i'm sorry."


                                                       ­                                  "don't be sorry, love."
                                                         "but seriously, i think i need to go to bed."
                                    "my head is pounding, my eyes are fluttering shut-- and
                                                                ­                 my cramps are really bad."

"poor baby. now i'm really sorry."

                                                       ­                                           "mm. it's okay."
                                                          ­                                    "can i go to bed ?"

"yeah. i'm not going to, though."

                                                      ­                 "but you should-- you need rest."

"nah. i'm alright."

                                                     ­                                                              "no."
                                                           ­                                             "go to bed."

PEOPLE TELL ME TO LEAVE YOU, BUT I LOVE YOU.

...is this about me ?

no. it's not. (...is he serious ?)

i have everyone telling me
that you aren't good for me.
but i wanna be someone to you.
...
i want you back
as my friend, yknow ?
ava took the one person i could shamelessly give myself to
in more ways than one.

i get it
understand that
i keep our friendship private
but not because i wouldn't call you that
but because you know a lot
and you can use that against me
and other people could use you
to get closer to me
i don't like to be weak
or seem stupid
and i don't wanna tarnish my reputation.

m, why would i ever use that against you ?
that works both ways.

i know you wouldn't.
you're the first person in twelve years
that i have truly trusted
so i'm very different, regarding trust and precaution.

...
so i hide you.

m, you make me feel like you want
my time
my attention

but i can't tell if you mean it.

and i don't have much time left with you
so i'm trying to give you all i can.

i get it.
but when we talk, it's like one of us always has something going on.

i know, i know.
and i wanna be that person to you.
the one you can trust with everything.
(the one you love ?)
but i don't know if it'll be reciprocated, yknow ?
i don't wanna give you the best of my life
when you can't even give me the time.

i shared my most intimate sides with you.
so i don't wanna hurt myself again.

i get that.
(does he ?)
i trusted you, too.
but the thing that makes it different
is that i'm emotionally stronger than most.

hey ! we both are.
that's why we're so good.
once again, matias-- good god, when will i learn !!!

i think i'll miss matias the most. the line between whether he was my brother or boyfriend figure blurred so badly to where all i wanted was to feel like he loved me. he only ever directly said it once. it's so unbearable, honestly--
