yeah i mean, i know that the people that i keep closest love and care about me, like with the way i act and live life they kind of have to. but i mean, i, a lot of times act out due to the extremity of the emotions that i feel.
like neurotypicals operate on a daily basis between the levels of 4-6 emotionally, i operate on good days between 3-7, but most days it’s between 2-9, so like this morning when my mom woke me up, like not even rude or anything, the reaction i gave was 2x more intense than what a neurotypical would have, which meant screaming “what” at her over and over, and then she was like appalled at my reaction and just stared at me, so i got even more upset because i read that as a very judgemental thing to do, when in reality she was probably just trying to figure out how to proceed without getting more of a rise out of me, but my brain read it as she was sitting there staring at me in disgust, so i started crying and storming outside to get away from everyones eyes. and those reactions and emotional rollercoasters happen on the daily with them and they don’t understand at all what is going on. and it wasn’t until a year ago that i had a diagnosis even, so my growing up was extremely ******* difficult for my siblings and parents.
this was written the same morning as “mornings”. it was a text to a friend of mine trying to explain like exactly what’s wrong with me, i guess?

I need to talk to You.
it's been so long, why won't You text me?
why do You never text me first?
I feel like I'm losing You.
do You still love me?
I think I still love You.
it's hard to tell when You won't talk to me.

what have You been up to?
done anything fun?
all I've been doing is crying... I can pretend it's not over You.
if that makes You feel better.
I mean... it nothing, really.
anything for You.
We used to have fun, didn't We?
We couldn't stop laughing.
all the time, even at 2 in the morning.
it's been a while.

haha check out this video, and please please text me back this time.
I hate that I need this much validation.
I hate how much I need from You.
and how much You never give.
am I too needy? cause that's fair.

I'm sorry.
what did I do?
was it even anything?

can You just humor me and tell me every tiny detail of your day.
I want to know everything, don't leave a single thing out.
no matter how insignificant it may seem.

do You still love me?
You said You thought We would last a long time.
please
please
please
I love You
I love that freckle on your cheek and even your 4 day stubble.
I miss You
i miss seeing your face and feeling you hold me.
I need You
i need your kisses and the hugs i forced from you.
I want You
i want everything back, just like it used to be oh 7 months ago.
please come back
please
tell me how much you love, miss, need and want
me

please give me my heart back
i think i gave it to you too soon
I met him in college, now we're 9 hours away for the summer.
I feel like I'm losing him
but maybe I already have.

I wanted to say thank you to @mk who wrote "texts i never sent" parts i, ii, and iii for inspiring this one

I (don’t) miss you.
I miss your cute good morning texts,
Holding your hand in the hallway,
Sneaking kisses between classes.
But I don’t miss you.
I (don’t) need you.
I need your comfort after a nightmare,
Your strong arms when I’m upset,
Your loving words whispered in my ear.
But I don’t need you.
I (don’t) want you.
I want your cheeky smile,
Your gorgeous body,
Your easy laugh.
But I don’t want you.
I want your love and affections,
I want someone to deeply care about me,
But I don’t love you.
I (don’t) love you.

kiss me if i'm wrong, but
kinda crazy how much we have in common
guess you found your perfect match
were about 98% compatible
dj smarty pants.

is this what true love feels like?
you're cute just for existing
you ****** my heart

i want to go on an adventure with you
i'd rather cuddle
let's turn some potential energy into kinetic energy
no one actually finds love like that

i guess i got my answer
if you say so
(you said cuddles fix everything, but i don't think they can fix this)
each line is a different text message we sent while still talking. all of which when in the right context were cute, now they just hurt.

If I told you,
You were what my nightmares are made of
Would you stop texting me?

I keep a library
small but not tiny
nearly filled to the brim
a million words within
I keep watch over them
a lonely archivist whose sin:
reading dusty texts whilst yearning
even with them burning
my skin
stop reading old texts

"**** is that her trying to comfort you?"
No, that's her actually noticing that it ***** and doing something
You didn't answer it even when I pointed at it subtly
I bet you were just laughing

Jealousy fills you again
At this point I've given up
I don't know what to say
I don't want to say; you're the only friend that matters and yeah what the hell was she thinking?

She cares and I know she does
She shows it not through a lot of talking or jokes
She shows through small things that show me she notices them

You said you'd keep it away from me
Yet here we are again
You're pushing it onto me

Must be **** that I saw it before you deleted the text saying that
I won't address it
I'm not making that mistake again

What matters
Is that you realized
You shouldn't have sent that text in the first place
**** happens and I won't play nice and dumb anymore
Oh bliss, take me into your arms and cast off the mortal coil that holds me back from your embrace. Let me dissolve into your soft lips and shed away the fears of deaths grip. For your lips are life and creation has never been sweeter.
