dear diary

this is my fifty-seventh week in high school and i grow out of love.

i slept half the morning.

when i woke up, i felt the closeness of scott.

he wrote numbers on my arms.

while sobbing like a fool.

and i wanted to hit him for that. 

scott: i dreamed that you were healed and we were happy

me: no, that is not going to happen!

scott: i know, i'm sorry

me: what are you doing here? you're missing your Math exam!

scott: i hate math and you know it

me: and yet you're the best at it

scott: and you hate to die and yet run to its arms

me: this is not the same thing, scott

scott: i argue against it

me: and i still deny it
