dear Em,

i'm in bed right now. But I can't go to sleep. all these thoughts cross my mind, interrupting my sleep. and in every corner of my room

it's dark.

very dark and

scary. like something's lurking in the shadows. your emptiness? my emptiness? do i need a councilor? or do you.

no.

it's me. just me.

do you think that's who I'm really writing to Em? to Emptiness?

couldn't be. we're nothing but acquaintances. but now i'm not so sure since you've been gone.

it's like a part of me is missing.

you.

it's you. just you.
