I haven't written anything in months. The basement walls are stale. I don't think I will ever feel happiness down here again. I am plagued with the thought of you running around here with me on your back and me doing the same for you. Crying laughing loving lying. I sit on these sheets, the same ones I have yet to change since the break up. I don't touch anything from then. I left the country and froze it all in time. The emotional weight of being here is a lot. I read back on some of the things that I wrote when we were together and I can't believe how calloused and mean and terrible I felt like I was being to you.
These days I've been thinking about you and having extremely vivid dreams of your touch. I was kneeling on my bed and you laid in front of me. I leaned down to hug you from behind, you had a yellow shirt on. You emanated a soft warmth that I miss the feeling of. Smooth and skinny. If I had it I might resent it despite wanting it so bad right now. I'm broken in that way.
I loved your mind and the way that you treated me. I felt so seen, known, and loved. I don't know if I will ever feel that way with anybody else. It's been so long since I've felt anything real. I won't let myself feel anything. I'm holding out, I can't have it all be for nothing. I can't even imagine another halloween happening without you after the mess that was last year. I want to skip the entire fall season. I don't want to live here and deal with that again, I need something to change so that I can learn myself and fix the deeper issues. I don't know what to do.
