A Midnight Conversation

"Do you ever think about just moving, getting away from that tied down feeling?"
"Yeah, that's actually something that has been on my mind for years, and is always crouching in the corners. Just leaving, starting somewhere new. It's very enticing."
(Jokingly) "We should move away together."
"No, you don't understand. For me, leaving means leaving everything -- and everyone. And just being alone."

There's a pause.

"Sounds lonely."
"Sounds free."

Feelings

"Feelings are stupid," I muttered.
"Not if they're with the right person," he replied.

I still have my doubts.

Conversations

"How did you remember that, when I even didn't till just now?"
"Because I love you."
"He'll get over it."
"I just had a really uncomfortable conversation with my parents about Coachella..."
"What did you even see in him?"
"Aw you have a conscience, that's cute."
"Be happier!"
"The real slim shady?"
"You can be really cold sometimes."
"Summer time is like boot camp for my liver."
"You alive?"
"I just wanted to remind you that I love you a whole lot."
"Isn't it your job to make me feel better?"
"HOLY SHIT my mind is fucking blown right now - I'm a cat!"
"In between flashing each other and talking shit, we have some pretty deep moments."
"Boys...even when they're not a problem, they're a problem."
"Our talks keep me sane."
"I just feel so surrounded and suffocated but so alone at the same time."
"If I bake you cookies, will you love me forever?"
"You upset me."
"I upset myself."
"You're quite beautiful. It's silly to think you won't measure up."
"We're sneaky little bitches."
"Because it means being vulnerable. And I can't stand that. I've taught myself to be strong and not let anything get to me, so wiping that defense away is terrifying."
