i love how accurate this whole archive is. where i'm disorganized and non-ritualistic, you're good at laying everything down all neat and cohesive, then updating it every now and then. i forget things easily and you help me a lot with that. how the heck have i been scraping by without you?

you fell asleep telling me that you love me. let's just let that sink in. i keep scrolling through our messages and smiling back at them. there's something that makes my heart ache when you tell me that you need me. truth be told, it should frighten me stiff that i need you, too. me, the distant ass fool who hasn't surrendered himself to anyone in years. but, before i knew it, i had already chosen you.

it feels right, diving in with you. it's hard to just dip your toes in the water when you know for certain that the man in front of you, soft-groaning, singing to soulja boy on your first date, absolutely sweeping you off of your damn feet -- you know he's your forever.

# data[].attributes.body
i'm writing this before i do my homework, because i can't really focus on anything that's not you.

you're still asleep. i miss you, i miss you.

it'll be a few more hours before you wake up. i'm already anticipating it. i've been looking forward to it since the moment i woke up, in fact. falling asleep with you as the last thing on my mind. waking up with you as the first,

i fucking like you a lot, too.

# data[].attributes.body
you're still asleep. i miss you, i miss you.

still working. put some music on. stifled a yawn. it's a lofi playlist i came across on youtube. now my music reminds me of you too. because yours is mine and vice versa,

i fucking like you a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
your hands on me always, you here for me always. it's a one-way ticket to heaven. and i'm giving you one too. i'm yours and i'm here for you (and in bed, underneath you). even as ghosts, i know i'll have a hard time shutting my trap about you. when it's your time; it's your time and i want to spend mine with you so the angry spirits! just have! to deal! with it!!

#storytime: last night, i was really upset about something for like hours. but i ended the day writing to you, smiling because of you, as if you shot me far away from the dirt and grime of the shit that i felt just minutes before it. and you were just being you. it's not even a matter of asking for consolation with you. you just come as you are and i'm soothed by you.

# data[].attributes.body
we even have chemistry in our kinks and listen. i gotta-- i just want to know which ones are.. are your favorites? p perhaps i want to find all the ways i can to please you.

# data[].attributes.body
thinking of you driving. that shit gets to me. alone in a car with you, the dim streets and the songs you would play on your stereo. the freedom to speak in that space. the comfort of silence. i could go on and on just at the thought of you.

# data[].attributes.body
evidence of how you continue to steal my heart away:

"everything you say, i want to save and stash away and keep forever."

"i miss you during the day. at night. in between. i miss you a lot already, when i'm not writing to you."

"can’t keep my eyes open, but I can still struggle my way through telling you how bad i want to kiss you."

"kiss you senseless. until you’re out of breath and your lips are all puffy and bruised. let you play with my fingers. let you cuddle closer and whisper against my neck. i love you so much, i wish."

"at school, people are always trying me."

"there’s going to be some intense kei ❤️ milly doodles in the notebook, i can feel it."

# data[].attributes.body
soon enough, it's going to physically pain me not to respond to you. when i'm on the clock and i see your name pop up, it's the most instant reaction: like a switch in my brain that turns the smile-muscles on. suddenly, i have all the more energy to trudge on.

# data[].attributes.body
my days are pretty simple too. i go to work, bathe in front of a screen forever and go home to watch some anime before dozing off. can i just say that you're such a relatable student-- i used to be that way too. hundred percent. but now i'm here and i've found you and my days are infinitely brighter because i get to bug you and vice versa.

# data[].attributes.body
another small thought for the night. for you.

when you called me soulmate earlier, i could've thrown up, i was so happy.

if you can't tell, i'm still unbelievably happy. that's also another thing i keep thinking about. you, my soulmate.

it's so painfully true. even soulmate doesn't seem like a strong enough word, does it?
my everything. my soulmate. my august.

edit:

i keep updating and updating these because i have so much to say? my thoughts just keep going. my thoughts of you are endless. even half asleep, it's all you.

# data[].attributes.body
see, i go to bed at any point between midnight and 3am. if i go to bed before that, i'm probably upset about something. that's just. how it is with me. and i wake up at around 7 or am. 11 on a good day. does this mean i get to wake up/fall asleep to you wrapped up in a bow because?? cute shit? hell yes.

hooked.
the first thing i fell in love with
was the way you wrote,
so sweet,
so innocent,
light on my mind
and had me high
all the time.

solace.
i often remember days
when sadness had confiscated
my mind.
being a man with barely
any sense of direction,
i considered myself hopeless.

instead of being alone
i am in your arms now,
traveling back to serenity.

unsatisfied.
how could i possibly be happy
with an outcome
that is everything
but you and i?

vibrance.
falling autumn leaves
tend to remind me of you.
you made the descent look beautiful, and brought color
to the very ground
you fell on.

immersed.
our letters of love
became the bridge
to deeper understanding.
a place
where ordinary words
could not survive.

letters.
i always told myself
that i could not possibly
fall in love with you more.
but here you are,
proving me wrong once again.

100 sonnets.
i love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. i love you simply, without problems or pride: i love you in this way because i do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no i or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when i fall asleep your eyes close.

# data[].attributes.body
you're at your granddad's as i write this, and i'm trying my hardest to stay awake. between playing these games and checking my phone over and over for your messages, i think i'm doing a pretty good job? good in the sense of staying up, anyway.

because i miss you.

i miss you, but i'm sure you know that already. i keep thinking about you, but i'm sure you know that, too. i keep thinking about you every second, overeager for you to come back. i keep thinking about your smile, and i keep thinking about you sleeping in the car. i keep thinking about how shy you get when i call you baby. i keep thinking about you? i keep thinking about how you're my puzzle piece (i know, will i ever let that die? no). and i keep thinking about how perfectly we go together. i keep thinking about how perfect you are? and how lucky i am. but those are all things i've told you before, of course. you just consume my thoughts. like, what was i doing before you?

this note is probably a mess, but i just wanted to. highlight how much i miss you when we're apart.

there's not a moment where i'm not thinking of you, in some way. whether it be looking back on something you said, or anticipating what you'll show me next. i'm head over heels. you have my heart.
