"I miss you" is probably the biggest lie you've ever told me.
Since from the day we met, we were long distance. Long distance friends, long distance best friends, long distance lovers. The phrase I heard more than anything else, besides "I love you" was "I miss you"; I became used to hearing it almost every day.
When you left I was convinced that you would be the first one to come back and say that you missed me, but no, that was me; all pathetic and teary-eyed.
I remember the day vividly. I went up to you, choking back tears, my heart pounding in my chest so hard I could hear it in my ears, and I blurted it out.
"So what?" you said. And that was when my whole world came crashing down. It was the moment when I came to the conclusion of either that one, you didn't care about me now or you never did anyway, or two, you were just that good at hiding what you really felt.
Now, it's easier for me to make up stories in my head about you. Like, to imagine that you're dead because it's easier for me to think that instead of admitting the truth: that you left me, heartbroken and alone.
"I miss you"-the biggest lie I've ever heard.
