Sometimes I look at you and just feel sad. Not because I’m sad about us now, but because I’m sad about everything we had to go through to get here. I hate that we had to hurt each other so much before we found our way back. I love you. I love our little life, our stupid laughs, our plans, and knowing you’re the person…

You were my best friend for a large part of my adult life. Knowing you were at home is what helped bolster me against a lot of hardship in those years.

I’ve removed you like 2-3x bc I hate how avoidant you are and tell myself I deserve someone who can give me the attention I want, but I always miss you. You literally told me you’re not good for my mental health, I guess there’s some truth to that after all.

After removing you the last time, I instantly regretted it so…

Babe when you get closer, I wanna run away

when you get farther, I wanna come your way

you make me feel loved, you make me feel trapped

you make me go fast, you make me go slow…
