when i was young i thought love
should be as natural as breathing
but lately breathing has felt like a chore
and when i take too many breaths
it feels like i’m not breathing at all
and the more i think of every inhale
and emptiness of every exhale
the more everything about it
feels mechanical
sometimes i want to call you and ask if you remember different memories but they aren’t even big memories, just days we existed together, and i think you’d say no
i cant believe i lived through being 12
“A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (via icanrelateto)
