The Love I Wish I Had
<p>It doesn’t scream. That’s the worst part. It just sits there, in the empty side of my bed. In the space between my hand and yours when we walk. <br/></p><p>You’re right there. And I have never been more alone.</p><p><br/></p><p>The love I wish I had would look at me. Really look. Not through me, not past me, not at the phone in your hand. At me.</p><p><br/></p><p>Instead, I sit across from you and wonder if you’d even notice if I left. If you’d miss me, or just miss having someone there.</p><p><br/></p><p>I want someone to hold me like I matter. To hear my voice crack and ask why. To see me crying in the bathroom and not wait for me to come out in my own</p><p><br/></p><p>I want to be chosen. Not as an option. Not as a convenience. As a goddamn priority.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I’m here. In this room. With you. Feeling like a ghost in my own life.</p><p><br/></p><p>The love I wish I had would make me feel less alone. Instead, being with you taught me that the loneliest place in the world is next to someone who doesn’t see you.</p><p><br/></p><p>And the worst part?</p><p>I’ll stay anyway. Because even this version of love…this cold, distant, half-asleep version is still close than I’ve ever been to any at all.</p><p><br/></p><p>Happy Valentine’s Day.</p>
