how to be okay when you're alone
I'm not sure why I'm doing it
maybe it's because I always loved books
or because its like coming home every time I walk into a library
or because burying myself in those pages
is the only way I made it out of last summer's heartbreak alive
or how it helps me push the loneliness away a little longer now
and it hadn't crossed my mind in months
but something about the way you said it-
so casually-
just clicked.
and now I can't stop and I love it.
so I guess this is a thank you
and while maybe it'd be easier to just thank you
this is no different than all the other things I've wished I could tell you
but not known how to.
you showed me how to be okay when I'm alone.
