how was your (I hope you are feeling rested today)

Is work going well (I miss our long talks)

Are you finished with (Those amazing narratives with angels and blood thirsty clans?)

Stop texting 💬 (I’m at the park, pool, making dinner, ordering pizza)

Will no judgment,

Do you mainly eat veggies or chicken ?

(This is torture without you)

Do you watch anime with your kids?(Teenagers are sometimes hard to always relate to)

Did you ever feel the way I felt for you, (you told me that you liked me more than once)

Do you know I have secrets I have tried to leak out to you?

(Abuse, dysphoria, love)

(To Lemon Flower, I can’t

Stop this from being unsent

This is only how I feel as a tiny drop.)
