"You awake?"

My head feels like bursting.
The skull like crushed on concrete.
Do I regret? Nah.

"Yeah..."

He didn't leave me alone.
Warmth spreads through my vains.
I suddenly don't feel that bad anymore.

"Why are you still here?"

I need to know.
As soon as my eyes met him this morning, I knew who he is.
He's that guy from the café who I gave my number.
He didn't find it, right?

"I wanted to make you feel less lonely."

His features display such a genuine smile that I have to chuckle lightly.
So, he only is there because he wants me to feel less lonely?
That's kinda sweet though.

"I will leave now. Just know that I'm there when you need someone."

I definitely felt my heart flutter when he told me that.
A content smile creeps onto his face as I wave him goodbye.
He shuts the door, I am alone again.

"I guess I'm not that lonely anymore."

Tears begin to stream down my cheeks.
I don't care that my head hurts.
I cry.
I shed tears out of joy.

"Maybe I am not that pathetic after all..."

"I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day.
Take me to the place I love.
Take me all the way."
