You wanted to walk me home so I carried you all the way back

“You never open up to me” 

I feel

 the addictive pull to end up comforting you when 

it’s what I wanted in that moment 

and my deep-seated fears leave 

You

feeling insecure

and we talk about it days later

I feel

like I can’t talk to

You

say “I’m sorry I’ll do better” this week

it’s “I feel like I’m always blaming myself” 

You 

want to be closer, “I just want to know 

You.”

Me. 

You

love me, so hard, and still,

I

cannot breathe

falling apart in the waterworks 

You 

disintegrate under

tears, an emblem that we’re close 

You 

say my tears make 

You

 feel secure 

I

think I just need

some space

  1. my jaw dropped at the title and I couldn’t pick it back up… (the tags you used too are so real) you encapsulate this feeling so perfectly ❤ excuse me while I go stare at the wall for a minute
