George June 2021
      I sat, thinking. Of nothing in particular. Just letting my mind wonder. My mind went from one thing to the next.
"Hello-?"
I blinked, looking at Alex next to me.
"You good lad? You seem out of it."
"Nah I'm good. Just thinking."
I say, picking at the loose strand in my sweatshirt.
Alex nodded.
"I'm here if you need to talk mate."
"Thanks"
I finally rip the string off.
"I'll be in my room."
I say, standing up. Alex shook his head and continued typing on his laptop.

I sat at my desk. Thinking again. These past 6 months haven't been easy. I massaged my temples and sighed. I sat back and opened my drawer, taking the little orange bottle out.
I opened it up, and swallowed two. It felt as if my life revolves around this little bottle of anti-depressants.

I wanted to forget. But I wanted to remember her too.

I opened my drawer again and pulled the notebook out, along with my pencil.

And I wrote again, I let my pencil guide me. I wrote about her. I wrote about her, who she was to me. I wrote what she looked like, what she smelled like. Everything I could remember. I wrote until the lead in my pencil snapped. And I sat back. I didn't want to read it back. I didn't need to...

I missed her, I missed her every fucking day. I missed her sweet smile, her eyes that I could read so easily. I missed her, next to me. I missed our love. I missed when I was with her.
