“Why do you flinch so hard?”

@ bugs

“When my absence doesn’t alter your life, then my presence has no meaning in it.”

“I talk about you sometimes like you’re still a part of this life I live, as if you are the soy milk in my coffee, the whipped cream on my hot chocolate, and the leaves in my tea. I still get high on thoughts of swift kisses and sweaty palms and tension in our eyes. I still crave your aggressive push onto your bed and desirous kisses and wandering hands. I don’t think you will ever miss me in the way I still ache for your touch. I don’t think you will ever look at me the way I see you.”

“Only those who care about you can hear you when you are quiet.”

“All I know is that I want my days to begin and end with you.”

“I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.”

“And even though I’m unsure about most things in life, I am certain that I love you and will continue to love you forever.”
