I hate texting
We met texting
We met online
Well yeah like messaging
I liked the way you wrote
Yeah but that was me like being thoughtful
Present
With it
It takes a lot to be
*Out of me to text
Like it’s a full interaction
And it’s in writing so I wanna either mean it or be funny
Like it’s one thing to fill air when we’re in person
Like talking
Together can be a game
Like breathing
But on my phone it feels
Like that can only happen when I’m really high
Or I’m like forced to focus
Bc I just like being in person better
Bc it feels more like now and more organic and like time is my friend and on the phone it feels like a fight for me to stay
And I just want to look away
I love talking
Like my ideal date is just talking somewhere comfortable
It’s like texting but out loud
It disappears
It breathes
Btw don’t use your towel
I did
Why?
