Come on, you really didn’t think this through. We all make a mess so desperate people like you can clean it up. That’s how this works. We make a mess, we break things; you clean it up. If we actually had to clean this up, why would we need you around? We keep you around…

The last time I heard your voice was the last time I had that phone. When your name popped up, it was like a fire ravaging through my chest: I was just happy you wanted to talk to me. That it wasn’t just the one who kept asking, “what’s the answer?”, but someone who genuinely…

I’m at a loss. I’ve tried everything, almost in vain, it seems. I know I made mistakes along the way. I know maybe I shouldn’t have said the things I’ve said. But you know where I’ve been, and all I asked was for you to just be with me a while. If I wanted to…

We all thought it was a joke. He wasn’t one for fun and games, other than video games. So when we first saw the will, we thought maybe it was a silly mistake by the lawyer, because Grant couldn’t come up with anything for his tombstone just because he was so young. But no, the…

It was weird when he kept calling me to do things, so I just kept blowing him off. Excuses that I had to be with my friends and stuff. You know, the usual way to keep people away. My own art teacher now wanting to hang out with me. Ugh. Maybe he’ll figure it out and…

Oh trust me, it’s not charming good looks or tall stature that will impress her. (You have none of those and never will.) Nope, the only thing that’ll possibly breathe life back into your heart (as if you had one, because, let’s face it: your heart is as good as a dog’s) is a master’s…

She was open to my thoughts, my plans. I never made it seem like I needed more than her assistance with the book club. Setting up the displays, the sign in sheets, and all of that. But somehow it had gone all wrong. Somehow I accidentally got too close. In Catholic school, when a fifth…

I’m the photographer. I live through my lens. You refuse to let me continue my lone discoveries of you, but I know that secretly, you want to look back within these moments. So you don’t fight me. Instead, you carry on, with your plans, your dreams, this magical moment. Where you know that he wants to…

I want to tell you. Everything inside of me is burning up courage when I see your searching gaze. You always come back with something that makes me laugh and think. And it’s easy to talk to you. But it’s hard to tell you things about you. It’s hard to say things to you when I…

It’s not that I don’t want you to say these things to me. It’s just impossible for me to hear. I don’t want to believe you. I can’t believe you. I know you’re being genuine; that’s just who you are. Please stop being so nice to me. I just want to look like I’m strong, so…
