When Does It Get Easier?
When will I stop imagining what you look like with other people, or even how many of these “other people” have been a part of your life since I left?
How To Tell You’re Becoming The Lame Friend
It’s not that you’re sad. In fact, you’re happier than you’ve been in recent memory. You’re just not interested in doing things socially just for the sake of doing them.
Don’t Tell Me You Love Me
There have been plenty of times where you’ve called me, drunk, at some ungodly hour. You’ve told me that you want me, that you need me, that you miss me.
Wanted: Someone To Kiss Me On New Year’s
In all seriousness, there is just an acute loneliness that tends to develop around the holidays, one painfully and obviously punctuated by the kissing ritual on New Year’s which seems to go around the party with a stamp and mark “together” and “alone” on people’s foreheads in bright red.

If you do tell, is it more about being honest with your partner, or assuaging your own guilt? Is ignorance really bliss?
I Still Think About You
What have you been doing? Are you happy in your life? The things that you always talked about doing as we lay together in bed, looking at the ceiling in that kind of dreamy, half-asleep lull of honesty — are you doing them?
It’s Over, Stop Texting Me
Who allows ten messages to go unanswered — a month of silence to stretch on — and still be excited when the other person finally decides to respond? I did.
