Dear you,

I’m on my computer, and it’s my most recent entries ever since my hiatus from writing.

Truth be told, I’m on a writer’s block — but if you asked me how I felt, I swear I’d have enough tears to fill a stream, just like I have enough words encapsulated in my heart to write this letter.

I miss you, and I know I shouldn’t. I shouldn’t reflect back on the past and I should forget a bit, but you’re always on my mind — even if I try, and I really do attempt at it. Just when I think the footprints on the path are gone, and when I come to the realization that I can’t look back, my mind stops thinking. I fall into melancholy, which is a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause — but I think you know the reason well enough. You weren’t just a piece in my life, you were a whole.

As I look at the clock, five minutes have passed and I still type away. A second without you feels like forever, and maybe I would’ve liked feeling that way when we were together. I wanted to spend every single second with you. I remember the way you pronounce words wrong, stuttered at times, and leered off when you got distracted — and oh boy, you really can’t multitask. The details still get to me, and I guess I’m not over you. My words may say otherwise, but my heart can’t accept reality.

“I hate you, but love you”

I hate you for:

  • getting over me
  • breaking my heart sometimes
  • never thinking you were good enough for me
  • not always agreeing with me
  • not sleeping on time
  • not talking to me anymore
  • forgetting about us

I love you because:

  • you’re really my first love
  • you’re compassionate and understanding (even when you’re childish)
  • being cute to me (although you’d never admit it)
  • singing for me + writing cringe
  • dealing with my clinginess
  • most importantly, stealing my heart

Our past plans:

  • meet up + love at first sight
  • kiss on a Ferris wheel
  • watch a movie together
  • living together and going far, far away
  • study dates
  • cooking + baking
  • matching couple shirts

I dunno anymore, since you don’t even want to be friends.
That’s fine, but I wish you happiness since you changed my world anyways.
I still feel the same way about you, but I wonder if you ever think of me too.
Hm, I guess only time will tell.

One day, maybe, just maybe you’ll fall in love with me again
I’m quite charismatic, so don’t doubt it.
I hope you’re feeling well
