Thanks God

"Ur an all around catch"

But you hadn't figured it out yet, and quite frankly, neither had I.

Sometimes God gives me nightmares. He graces me with nightmares. I'm not very religious, but this is an interaction I know that exists between us. Nightmares about heartbreak, specifically. That's what I'm talking about - God-given nightmares.

You'll tell me you're still in love with her, and I choke back tears all the way to my stomach. I offer some sort of sullen advice, my eyes wide and extinguished. Rid of any hopefulness, rid of any life. I tell you to go after her, go get her, be happy, you deserve it. I wake up plastered to my bed as though I had been crying all night.

I guess that's my way of forgetting about you.
