Him

I don't feel like writing a cute fluffy story right now so Im going to write this as an anon letter type thing for someone who means the world to me.

"You may think I'm over you, but barely. I'm able to pull myself out of bed, not thinking of you. I'm able to fall asleep without a thought of you entering my mind. But everyday, you seem to come up, without hesitation. Were you always there, or do you randomly just pop up, when least expected?

You're like that unwanted guest, who comes whenever they want, but after they stay for a few minutes, i can't help but smile because I know I'm not lonely with someone like you around.

I've moved on in ways I never thought possible. I found someone else who I love, but they don't make up everything about you. They're perfect, but they lack things. Everyone lacks something, but they lacked you in general.

I fall asleep to the sound of his voice, echoing the bohemian rhapsody, as he sings to me. I love the way his beautiful smile lit up his face and mine as I thought about it. I fell in love with his messy blond hair and his sleepy blue eyes. I love the way he's busy but can still find the time to talk to me and sing me to sleep.

He's nothing like you, but maybe that's not such a problem. After all, I actually trust him, unlike you, who lost that when you lost me.

Maybe the reason I'm this way is because I trust too easily. I trust because I love him. So if I'm ruined because I love him, it's better this way. If I love him, maybe, just maybe, I'll love myself too.
