i cant stand the silence
that sits on our old text messages,
on your contact name in my phone
that has no picture and no emojis next to it.
and it isn't a goofy nickname, its just
your name.

thats all.

i want to be able to say, "shut up and kiss me"
but nobody has said anything since the 22nd of March.
its okay,
theres only one year and 24 days left.
and who knows,
maybe we will see each other before then.

until then, ill fill out my little self help books
and ill keep talking to Craig (my therapist)
until my pens run dry of ink
and my throat runs dry of voice.

i dont quite think you understand that
im not exaggerating when i say
i'll wait forever.
