03. A GOOD QUIET

we always talked at night.

you constantly told me i sounded tired, but i assured you that i wasn't. i think you should know that your calls always woke me up and that i lied to you about it countless times. i just didn't want you to feel bad, even though i always fell asleep when things between us got quiet.

but it was always a good quiet. i wish i could've been awake to experience our silences like you always were.

most times i woke up with a text telling me that i started talking in my sleep and you didn't want to intrude, so you ended the call. and then you'd tell me to have a good morning and to not break another bone getting out of bed.

your sleeping schedule was so messed up that you never replied to my texts until the evening, but i think i fixed it for you. you're upstairs sleeping right now and it's almost a quarter past eleven.

and i'm the one who's awake.

kind of like how you're the one who's supposed to be saying goodbye to the world soon, but i'm here writing this.

(also, you talk in your sleep, too. i may or may not have about a hundred videos of you mumbling about things that don't even make sense. sorry.)
