“You asked me how I was doing and I wanted to spill out all of my pain to you. I wanted to say, I’m really not doing well at all, I hardly sleep, and The smallest things make me cry because I’m balanced right on the edge But all I said was I’m okay and the sad thing was that you believed me.”

"I miss you"
Is it okay if I send those randomly btw? If you need me to stop I can, it's just easier to say than "I wish you were here because I feel so so lonely and I just want someone to hold me while I fall apart, or to help me walk through to the kitchen to grab my salt, or to play video games so I can watch and pretend like I know what's happening on the screen, or to tell me that it's okay to cry over nothing" without sounding like that's all you mean to me
