the character’s silence feels intentional

the character on christmas looks like he’s hiding unresolved trauma in a wool hoodie

the characters presence feels intentional like he knows exactly what he’s doing to me

sometimes the character’s silence hits like he’s about to ruin my week and i’m already thanking him

the character breathes in and the air feels different around me

sometimes the character turns his head like he’s hearing something i can’t and i lose my mind a little

the character looked at the floor and somehow i felt it

sometimes the character just stands there and i want to scream into a pillow and also throw myself at a wall

the character looked lonely and i still haven’t recovered

the character is a fictional man and yet he’s winning whatever this battle is

my day was normal until i remembered the character

i am a fully functional adult except for when the character is in my head

he’s not real but the obsession? oh honey, that’s VERY real

the character has more emotional power over me than any real person ever had

the character? no but like. THE character

the character didn’t speak but i heard EVERYTHING
