I woke up with another  hangover.

It's sad that this is becoming a pattern. All I do is drink so I can numb the pain I feel.

I run to the bathroom and get rid of my stomach contents into the toilet.

As I wash up, I don't even try to avoid my reflection. I came to terms with the fact that this is me.

Messy hair. Smudged eyeliner. Dry tear stains. Bags under my eyes.

How could I ever think that Calvin would love someone like me?

I walk back to my room and pick up my phone.

Why do I continue to wait on him to call or message? Why can't i realized that it's not going to happen?

But as I turn on my phone, I see a notification.

It's a message from Calvin.

Calvin: I know it's late but I want you to know that I love you

I read the message over and over , but feel nothing. The empty feeling doesn't leave.

I respond with an "I love you too" because, in all honesty,  I do. Even though I lose love for myself every time I say it.
