okay?
so you're only 120 minutes away from me
and I'm numbing myself to that fact
by focusing on the static in my head
do you ever get to the point where the pain stops being productive
and starts just being pain?
this is just a Thing that I deal with now
just a Thing
as long as I can imagine how it feels to have your hand rub my back
I will be fine
it's getting really fuckin inconvenient for you to keep stopping me, actually
the blade gathers dust on a shelf of chipped white paint
and somewhere in here I know I should be thanking you
but I think I forgot how
so I guess loving you will have to be enough
it seems to be plenty for me, anyways
text me when you're 120 minutes away again
okay?
I'll put the kettle on
the tea will do us both good, honey
that's what I hear, that's what I hear
