In a book I read today that they werenโt โholdingโ hands but their hands were โkissingโ and suddenly I miss his fingers intertwined in mine as he slept beside me while I looked at him. His little snores making him look ever so gentle and I caressed his head, which he didnโt really like but then one day he himself dragged my hand upto his hair and when I asked โwhat changed?โ He said, โyou like it.โ
When I cried he held me for a while until he couldnโt so he would make dumb jokes just to get me to stop being a mess and I would want to yell at him to just hold me until it ends but I didnโt because weโre both different people, me, who wants people to feel comfortable enough to cry with me and him, who canโt see me crying. (Or so I think)
I remember telling him Iโm tired of trying, I want to give up on people, Iโm tired of always being the one making efforts and he fought with me just so I would stop.
I acted like a kid when he tried to help someone else and told him to stay away from them but he came back saying โbut Iโm all in for youโ and I swear it was all good but then the distance happened and I hate all of it but most of it I hate that I had known this would happen, he hasnโt slipped but away except in my mind he has. He hasnโt stopped putting in efforts except in my mind he has.
