Keeping Me Up at Night

Why am I so forgotten?

Why aren't I leaving an impression?

Why do I matter?

Without her,
i am nothing.

No hug.

No words.

No glances.

No…anything.

what have i done.

“illyyyy”

“Read 9/24/26”

“She’s not going to have her phone for a while.”

“Notebook, and texts from last night.”

“I don’t want a hug from you!”

ok.

i get it…
