breathe me (e.dolan)

"Hey. I went to see you today. It was really hard, and I'd be lying if I told you I didn't cry just about the whole time. I guess you can tell by the tone of my voice that I'm still crying now.

I hate that I'm so used to the hospital room already. You've been there so long I can almost feel myself forgetting what your actual home looks like— your actual bed.

I wish I could be stronger for you, baby. The doctor even said you were showing signs of improvement, but that doesn't stop my heart from fucking shattering every time I look at you.

I just want to hear your voice again, and not over your stupid answering machine."
