book meme / he forgot to say goodbye, benjamin alire sáenz
i could’ve made up a lie.
and you just can’t bring yourself to say i’m sorry.
what are you thinking about?
i won’t cry. i’m done with that.
it just hurts to see you that way.
in other words, fuck everybody else.
well, there’s a lot to be sad about.
you know, that feeling, the one where you think an angry animal crawled inside your body during the night and got lost in there and then got really scared and mad and was trying to scratch its way out.
you know, take care of myself.
and i wasn’t patient enough.
why do you need to protect me?
i know you and i didn’t always, you know, get along.
i think i’m catching something.
you know, i don’t think i’m a very happy person.
does anyone have a normal family?
i’d always been kind of a fuckup.
you know, i really kept my mouth shut.
i guess it was from my heart. it hurt so bad.
if i need you, i’ll call.
