the things my mouth is too afraid to say.

1.

“i’ll go,” i say.

every part of me wants you to ask me to stay.

you don’t.

2.

i always forget how much i miss your voice until i hear it.

until it tells me you love me.

then i wish i could forget it.

3.

“is love enough?” i whisper.

your hesitation was my answer.

4.

the middle is a horrible place to be.

more than a friend,

less than a lover.

please, pick one, before my heart breaks in my chest.
