I wish you’ve never heard me laugh, I wish you’ve never seen me cry. I hate how without even looking, you can tell I’m upset, I hate when you can tell I’m lying. I want every night to be like November, I want you to race back to my house and spend two hours with me in the driveway. I want to be your biggest fan. I love how you say you’ll call, I love the tattoo on your right shoulder that you never posted, I love how irritated you get when I say ‘never mind’ I love to imagine I mean something to you, maybe just a fraction of a thought. I want to yell at you and pick fights, I want to tell you you’re insane when you swerve on the road to avoid the potholes, I want to be the best friend you thought you didn’t need, I want to hold your hand. I know you’re leaving me in the rubble, I know you’re driving far, far away, I know why you’re leaving too. I want to know your heart like how you’ve come to live in mine, I want to know you like how you’ve come to know me.

I hope when you leave, You don’t think about leaving me. I hope we stay friends, I hope we still have the 2 a.m talks. I love the way you told me goodbye, I love that you knew from day one. I think you know me too well, I think you see me too clearly You’re my friend and I wish I could disappear with you. I’m never sure if you’re smiling at me or looking just over my shoulder. I hope you come back in April, I hope we go on that road trip in May. I wish I could say the things I’m too stressed to say. I’m missing you like hell, although I’ll smile when you drive away.
