Mari's Diary

Days After

I see him and I don’t feel different from before but when I’m alone, I miss him 

But I don’t miss him 

I miss what I used him for 

I want to text him  

I want to say 

Hey let’s try again, please 

I miss you, let’s hang out  

I want to do it again 

He would just respond with 

This isn’t good for you or 

No, that’s not a good idea 

You need to get over me, you deserve better, you’ll find someone better 

I don’t think I can, I whispered that night, clutching myself tighter 

I’m on my own again, amongst even numbers and I’m sad  

I miss him 

It’s selfish  

I only want him as a warm body and he knows, 

he knows that we’ll use each other and it’s not healthy for us 

We deserve better people  

We were never lovers, just two people who wanted  to fuck to destress 

Not to test the waters  

Or ruin our friendship  

Or give in to temptation 

Just willing, warm bodies on a cold Friday night 

My anxiety and lust was at an all-time high but I was just happy that I had him as close as I dreamt of for months on end 

Streetlights were blurring by when he asked why me 

I didn’t have a real answer 

I find you attractive, dark hair, light eyes, tall nose, you’re mean but also nice- 

I’m not mean, I’m blunt 

Same difference. You make my brain stop thinking irrationally, it’s nice to not think for once 

Why him 

He made me feel desired and wanted in the same way I did 

He made me feel like a woman 

I wanted to date him at first but we clash too much, not similar  

I got over it but then he became more attractive and so did I, in his eyes  

Lustful filled looks and heart racing teases. 

He pulled me in and I let him, I longed for his hands on me 

And I finally got it 

I wonder if I’ll break no contact or if he will 

Maybe I’ll give it three more months like last time or should I really drop him for good? 

I know I deserve better but I want it easy  

I don’t want to struggle anymore
