Listen, you’re a boring person. That’s why people keep passing you by, or choosing your friends because they’re more interesting than you are.
You’re not pretty enough, white enough, funny enough, mature enough, agressive enough. You’re never enough.
But let me tell you this. One day, one person will come along who will change all that.
He’ll stay by your side even if he feels like sleeping. He won’t mind your friends because of his own reasons. He’ll listen to you no matter how boring you are. And he’ll think you’re enough; more than, even. And when that day comes, everyone who’s passed you by will be sorry they never took the time to know you.
GOODBYE
To what we once were.
HELLO
To what we can never go back to.
and HELLOGOODBYE
To where we’ll be a million pixels from now.
To have him peel the sticker that sealed the envelope,
To have him peel the sticker that said ‘between you and me’,
It felt like he was keeping you a secret.
It felt like it was happening.
She is the weakness you think of as strength,
while I am the strength you have no idea is there.

I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking, and then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are
azure
indigo
cerulean
cobalt
periwinkle
and suddenly, the blue will not seem so dark, more like the color of a noon-bright sky.
He brings the sun.

She didn’t say it.
As all quiet little fragile things go, she sat there and smiled.
He didn’t mind at all.
As all gloriously unfathomable illusions go, he stood there and made the world laugh.
She laughed along.
He smiled for a moment.
That’s how it went.
A chaotically happy relationship based on laughter and half-hearted promises.
A relationship based on a joke.
She didn’t say it.
And as far as hidden thoughts and discarded words go, she didn’t know that he knew what she wanted to say.
He knew.
But he didn’t say it.
And as far as this psycopathic relationship went, they would never know.
That they both felt the same about the very thing that kept them apart.
