So. this is the new me. im sitting here on the phone waiting for you to come back like you said you would, but it's been an hour, and i hang up, you wont call back.
technically, i shouldnt care, but i like talking to you because when i do i imagine the way your redish- orange hair that's way too long, and you should cut, curls at the end around your face. Then i realized, that i waited for you, for an hour. and i knew you werent going to come back, but i waited, and i always will, because i love you.
Begginning
A month ago, when i was having a fight with my mom, and it was still december, i rushed back home to you.
i was mad, mad at her for saying all those things about you to me, like she always does when she's having mood swings. because she's bipolar too, but she hides it well.
i think i was nearly in tears, because i cry when im mad, and i told you all the things she said about you being bad for me Hero, i told it all to you and you played strange sad opera in the backround but i didnt want to know why since you HATE opera.
And i wanted you to say "she's wrong" like you always do when she says those things, but instead you said
"Maybe she's right."
i couldnt speak.
martha? right? since when?
and you said...that maybe i didnt need you, that maybe i should let go, that maybe she was right, and you said, "you should go back home with your parents and be. a. teenager."
those words dont add up, you, Hero would never say that to me EVER.
Then, you kissed me on the cheek, and said something in Norweigen i didnt understand. but i knew that it meant, that you were going back home. back to Norway where the girls are all pretty and they are all in love with you. back to where your dad lives.
You left me. you stayed here, with me for a year and two months. then..you said i was better off. but didnt you remmber that i was broken when you found me?so why did you not think to leave me whole when you elft me?
when the door closed behind you, i couldnt breathe. i ran to our room, and your stuff wasnt there.
your shirts, the ones i like to steal and call my own werent there.
Present.
Manny, my favorite older brother. you came to my place, because i hadnt picked up the phone in days. you found me in bed, hugging my pillow, not saying anything. and you had to see your little sister breaking. i'm sorry i let you see the bad side of me. and i couldnt talk. you nearly almost cried. until i told you where he was. and you said "that bastard" like you always do.
I didnt go back to live with my family like you said. and i dont give a damn about being a teenager unless i can be it with you. Hero. my hero who i loved from the moment i met you.
Now. we still talk to each other, and every now and then when we talk you pause, like you want to say something else besides goodnight. but i've erased you, so it wont hurt anymore. and i pray that you wont tell me you love me again.because it hurts. and i hurt.
But today. i waited on the phone, for an hour for you. even though i knew you werent coming back.because i still love you i think.
When you left the good part of me, the happy part, that everyone loved, the non bipolar me died away. but now im back to tell the story..the story of the depression. the story of you and I when you dont love me anymore, and dont call me darling. if the phone rings again..I'll know it's you. and i'll answer, and wait for the akward pause to come where you used to say you loved me, and in that moemnt i'll say "be right back" an then make you wait for me. for an hour.
not because it'll prove anything. but because i like messing with you.
