I’ve never been so frustrated in my life. all I want is you and I can’t have you. you are the only person I truly care about and I need you.
who needs who?
my mother asks
 if it's mutual

that’s how you know it’s real 

11:09

crying now

I imagine as i lay on my bed

that the pillow is you

as I trace the lines of your absent body an overwhelming feeling of 
emptiness 
occurs

the feeling 
you get when something you lost is right in front of your face but you can’t seem to find it

consumes me

11:10

I want you

I need you

I miss you

I (insert verb here) you

I love you

11:11

I wished for you

I wish for you

I’m wishing for you
