I miss the way your body contoured perfectly to mine when we lied in bed, or on the floor, back to front on our sides. And the way your hair got caught in my nose ring and the awkward freeze that followed. I thought I felt something that clearly was not there. And now I listen to songs about skylines and strings and Midwestern America like it won’t make me feel worse. Like it won’t keep me dwelling on feelings that were, at best, fleeting. I know where I went wrong. I’m sorry for caring at all. But it’s okay. Not that you asked anyway. I don’t think a little more was too much to ask for.
