-hey, i hope your trip went well. it's good they paid for your expenses when your flight got delayed. it seems you really liked that university. i missed talking to you, we should've skyped when you had a better connection at the dorm. you seemed to have a great time. i saw you friended a lot of people from the uni. most are guys, though. hm...... haha, i'm joking. anyways, i was just writing to say i miss you, and i love you.

I love this. So unique and telling without saying much at all. This is so fantastic and exactly replicates every awkward chat experience I've had. This is perfect. I know I'm often unspoken but don't think I don't keep tabs on that writing of yours! sending love always!
ReplyDeletethanks, ali. i appreciate your company, even if it's merely through a series of tubes.
ReplyDeletethis is so real it hurts. we've all been there, kid. and it always sucks. here's hoping that you get the closure you need sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeletethank you. i feel at home here thanks to you - heartbroken and all.
ReplyDeleteyou know you'll make it. i know you will. because you can.
ReplyDeletethe thing is, i'm not sure you want to.
i just live with one foot out the door. it's tearing me apart but it's the way i've been for years.
ReplyDeletei just hope you're right.
