In. Out. In. Out. I could lie here all night and feel your chest go up and down. Even ignore you snoring if I tried hard enough. Although I fear I’d become all too consumed with my thoughts. Thoughts that led me here of all places after god knows how long. Thoughts that i wish wouldn’t get stuck only in my head so that way I could share them with you. Because I know you want nothing more than to hear something from me. Anything from me maybe. Today you told me you don’t know why you like me, there’s no particular reason that makes sense just a very overwhelming feeling. And I think that scared me a lot. Because there is no reason you would like me, so it feels like I’m just waiting for the day you wake up and you realise it’s too hard and we’re too different and I’m too young and too difficult. Believe me I have a thousand things I want to tell you and it would be everything you have missed from me. About the last time I cried so hard I felt like my insides had been scooped out whole. About how I haven’t since but there’s still exactly 4 things that when I think too hard about I come close to it. About the time I met you and I was mesmerised. About all my frustrations and victories and sadness and overwhelming joy. I’d love to tell you it all so maybe you’d like me more. But unfortunately there’s a brick wall between my brain and my mouth and now that you’ve figured that out I wonder how much time I have left to feel your chest go up and down.
