Problem

There's days where I can't stop thinking about you
When I eat, I think about what you'd order
When I sit, I leave a space for you
When I walk, I feel for your hand and walk on the inside
When I sleep, I scoot over in anticipation that you're gonna be there

But then there's days where you're the last thought in my head
I order and they say your name and I completely blank
I put my bag up on the bench
I walk on the outside
I take up the whole bed

It's the main problem when you're the only reason I feel lonely but can't grasp the idea of being alone.

I hold the door open for a second when I go into a store, hoping to hear the scuffling of your feet behind me
Sometimes I let my hand fall off the handle as I walk in
I lock the door before crawling into bed but sometimes I leave it unlocked, hoping you'll find your way back.

7 months down the drain.

When I was with you, I pondered the idea of kids

Now the thought of being a mom disgusts me

I used to leave the key under the mat when I thought you were coming over, catching myself sneaking it under now is something I need to stop. You're not coming in ever again.

I loved you, with everything in me. If it meant taking myself apart to make you, I would give you everything I own, and have, and have created.
