visions

a week

thoughts one week after valentine's day

a week ago today right now
i was sitting in a pile of dove chocolate wrappers
with my legs up on the desk
and the keyboard balanced on my lap,
writing a history essay {which i still need to turn in}.

a week ago today right now
i was talking to my best friend about the day.
she was dating tumblr and i was dating my ipod
{though let's face it, we've gone beyond dating now}
and good-naturedly cussing love.

a week ago today tonight
i was sitting on the sofa, eyes blinded with tears
and my earbuds playing "jolene" ever-so-softly
and my laptop on my thighs and
penguin gifs {cure for depression} on my screen.

a week ago today tonight
i said "no, i don't want to watch a movie,"
{even though i did} just so that i could keep talking to you.
our conversation wasn't going well, no,
but it was a conversation. enough?
