Not until the silence had appreared to be so cheap
These past couple days have been SO PETTY and SO ANGSTY. There's so much I want to tell you, yell at you, rather, but it doesn't really matter 'cause you don't listen to me anyway. It's just getting progressively harder to pretend like I don't care; like this doesn't matter.
I guess it's my turn to tell my side of the story: I already knew you were trying to distance yourself from me, and I know they way you usually do that is not talk to me for a few days. It had been a couple days since you last let me talk to you. So when you weren't outside your classroom and the room was empty (yes I went to check for you), I headed on my way, planning to catch you there and show that you can't shake me that easily. When neither you nor your roomate was there, either, I was SO convinced that you convinced him to go to somewhere else in order to avoid me for the day. So I sat alone. He happened to be walking by and when I waved hello and he saw that I was alone, he came to join me. Then you called and explained yourself and said you were on your way. All we talked about was how I was so convinced you ditched me and how silly I felt that I was wrong.
Then you showed up and got angry. I thought you were going to be right back, but when 45 minutes passed and you still hadn't emerged I got actually worried. We talked then about how you weren't there and hypothesized about what happened to you. Yes, we talked about YOU. Even when you decide to leave me, you're still all that's on my mind.
And that's not fair. Now you're not talking to me again, and I can only go through waves of trying to not care alternating with getting really angry. I went to go check and see what was taking you so long at that 45 minute mark, and when you weren't there I checked the premesis, where you also weren't. I ran into a couple kids from class, and explained that I was looking for my best friend. That's right, I still fucking introduce you as my best friend. Who leaves me. And makes me feel underappreciated.
We accept the love we think we deserve.
But there are times that I feel like you appreciate me and love me. And I miss it. I left that apology with you not because of what happened, but because I know you need more than this. I wanted to be someone who could give it to you, and the wrong way to go about these things is to get angry. So I was apologizing for getting angry instead of talking to you. But you're not talking back, and that's painful.
So when I see you
Please understand the way I think
Your smile it heals me
I never want to go away
Believe I love you
No matter how selfish I get
I know you'll help me
The way I feel I won't forget
