She’s my newspaper with coffee. My morning dose of a thousand topics. Overwhelming. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
She’s my book on a beach trip. Even if I won’t read it I find comfort in having it there. My possible escape from any or all of it.
She’s my midnight solo drive. I want it to last but not too long that I find despair in solitude. Not too long that I confess what I can’t take back.

I can live without them all. The newspaper, the book, the drive.
You said
I swear, I swear I can.
You said
I can, I just don’t want to.
It made sense why being with someone is far from a state of being.
It’s this constant choice. It is choosing them every day.
And choosing makes it all the more fragile. Yet all the more special.
I said
I think I like being the newspaper, the book and the midnight drive.
Way more than your every breath, your forever, and your everything.
I said
I swear, I swear that’s true.
There’s a realness in that I just never knew.
