it’s been a week

you were able to survive a week without me

and you’re fine

you truly are surviving

and yeah i’m alive but every thought is looped around you

i lay in bed all day bc i’m overwhelmed with loss

my phone buzzes and i want so badly for it to be you

i replay you leaving

i replay our last kiss

i replay the way i couldn’t breathe after you left my porch

how are you ok?

how are you still ok with missing me?

please tell me how to function

tell me how it means so little to you that you are able to go about with your life

give me a reason

i’m pretty but not seek you out after the function pretty

i’m the quiet kind of pretty

you can love my face but you may not remember it

i’m a “oh she’s so nice” or “funny” or other adjectives that describe your personality

not breathtaking, more of a silent nod, an absentminded observation

and you’re the type of pretty that makes people remember your name

and ask about you afterwards

“oh who are they”

“are they with anyone”

and i know you love me

you’d pick me over them every time because not only am i pretty

you “know my personality”

just once i’d like to be sure

to know for a fact

that if i was standing in a lineup with whoever is fighting for your affections after just a glance

you’d pick me

just on looks

and you wouldn’t

date down

you said you needed the pictures to remember me by and i said just don’t lose me and you won’t need to remember.

i’m pretty sure the pictures were the first things to go.

in six months he’ll be gone from my mouth

and then my skin

and soon there won’t be a single part of me that carries your touch on it

no part of your cells

i have new bras you’ve never tried to undo

new bathing suits you never got to see me walk around in and feel confident

i’ll be able to drive soon and you’ll never be in the car with me

i’ll get a job and won’t know where you work

but i’m more scared that once you’re gone from my skin

i won’t remember your touch

your lingering kisses won’t linger in my memory

those new bras will never see you try so hard to redo them because you want to do that for me

you’ll never let me splash you in the pool

or take me to the bridge you loved to jump off of and promised to show me

i’ll never be able to annoy you with the playlist i choose while you drive me around

i’ll never be able to feel adult freedom with you smiling in the passenger seat

i won’t know where you apply or go to work

i won’t be there when you get the interview or when you don’t

i won’t be able to surprise you there and see your face melt like it used to

i want the pain to go away but not really

i’d rather walk around unable to breathe but able to remember your mouth on mine

or your hand in mine

your thumb rubbing circles on the back of my palm

the way you did when you chose to take it away

when taylor swift said “and i feel you forget me like i used to feel you breathe” and “if you’re moving on, i’ll be waiting for you” and “i can’t help but wish you took me with you” and “time is taking it’s sweet time erasing you” and “now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head”

vulnerability is crazy

this person breaks down your walls

and the walls are there for a reason

storms raged against you

they keep out floods

and then

after all the hours spent building up the brick

you bloody your hands tearing it down

you hold it up

as an offering

“i love you, i’m letting you in”

you hand them the bricks that no longer surround you

and as you tear it down they help

they take the bricks you hand them

“i love you, thank you”

and you believe it is ok

you believe that they will cherish the bricks

and keep them held high

safe from the rising waters

and they tell you they will

“i love you, forever”

except the water is rough

and the floods come faster than you expect

and you sit in the rubble

that you created intentionally

and as it rises over your head

“but i love you”

there was this moment when i was laying in his lap looking up at him at an angle i would never be caught dead letting someone see me at. and being insecure wasn’t even an option because he was looking at me like i was the most perfect thing he’d ever seen and he could stare at me forever. i’ve never felt such an overwhelming gratitude for that absolute acceptance i felt. it was this comfortable feeling of settling into the knowledge that he loved me no matter what. it didn’t matter that he could see all my flaws right now, or that my wide smile folded my face into something i considered undesirable, or that i was laughing so hard i snorted. he held me and kept holding me and it felt like there was nothing i could do to make him let go. he was choosing me despite what i perceived as ugly and this choice made me invincible.
