6 weeks into summer she messages:

MISS YOUUU :(((((
its embarrassing really, on my part.
how I'll hover over hearts and paper aeroplanes
Dreading the reciprocal twitch
and the lack of. the weeks stretch and ache
Like waking from a bad dream, dried flowers disintegrate
In soju bottles, her winter coat waits
on the door hooks of my new room.
i want to tell her
the good things too but I settle for the numb
And we pretend that love remains permanent.
