It was a headache at first. And then the itching—oh the itching! She clawed at her head relentlessly, to no avail. Something other than relief sprouted beneath her fingertips.

If it's not you,

Your carefree nature doesn't matter.

I want to know more, so much more.

Saying I don't like you,

Trying to act tough

It's because I want to be close to you.

It's simple and clear

I'm not interested in you.

I'm just pretending.

But keep your eyes only on me.

“how can i help you feel better?”

“do you want me to listen, comfort you or give advice?”

“you can cry if needed, let it all out”

“would you like a distraction?”

“hug?”

“your emotions are valid, never apologize for feeling this way”

“these exhaustive feelings are temporary, i promise you”

“nothing in life is linear, things don’t always need to be getting better”

“take your time, i understand how hard it is to be vulnerable”

“would you like me to tell you a funny anecdote to distract yourself?”

“remember i’m here for you”

“don’t give into your doubts, please”

“despite everything, just know that you are loved”

“come, let’s cuddle and watch your favorite show”

“believe in the me that believes in you”

    No matter what happens, I won’t abandon my dream

I won’t give up…. My longing, too

                  Not anything… Not my feelings for you, either

Even the pain, even the tears….
