If you listen closely, you’ll hear me in the quiet. I’m always louder when I’m not real.

Still a hopeless romantic after all this time. Very insane of me.

I don’t want you back. I just want the version of me I was before you taught me how sharp wanting can be.

I stare at my reflection like it owes me answers. It never speaks. It just looks tired, like it’s been pretending too long.

[loverboyisnotreal]

I was going to say something important. But you looked at me like you already knew, and the words died in my mouth.

I tell pretty lies. Not to hurt you — just to make the truth easier to swallow.
