“I feel myself getting bad again”
— J.I. // a six word story
The words don't come easy anymore.
Peter Pan once told me "never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting"
The more time that passes the more it feels like our sentences really ended with goodbye.
I always thought that we were chapters of the same book. But I'm starting to think I'm a fantasy while you find your home in nonfiction.
The amount of time apart is creeping slowly up to the amount of time spent together, and it terrifies me.
Pretty soon I'll be the lost boy you forgot you tucked into bed.
- Clementine Von Radics
Couple years flashin' by
And I'm doin' okay
In the back of my mind
All I hear is your name
I bet you're happy and that's fine
But I regret just one thing
I never got to change your mind

“Were we ever meant to get it right?”
I’m still mesmerized by your writing, I hope I didn’t take that from you. Do you ever think about me ? I’m sorry it’s selfish to ask.
A letter to my 19 year old self.
Stop letting a broke heart make decisions for you. Ignore that selfish thing when it pumps wildly. Ignore it when the shattering is so deafening it feels impossible to block out. Stop running from the pain, because no matter where you go it will find you, it will cling to you like a shadow and it won’t keep the what if’s away.
“Because this thing between us, it’s something that happens only once, and I’ve managed to almost lose it twice. I won’t risk it again.”
Only once
I forget what it was like to be in love with your best friend until my mind betrays me with a memory of you …
I’m sorry if any of your broken pieces have my name on them. God knows most of mine have your name tattooed on them in the same black ink etched in my skin with your memory summed up in a song lyric.
“I hate who I have to be without you next to me”
