Lasting thoughts after long nights

I am not sad or mad;
I am alone.
I do not crave attention:
I make plans.
I reminisce less;
Like you.

I have become comfortable with my own conversation.

When my body gets too big and craves to be held, I do not turn to another.
I simply break down
on my bed
(or in my car)
and cry. 
"Crying"
doesn't last as long as it used to. 
I let my pain fill me up.
I accept my present existence. 
I know myself better every day.
My reflections.
My comparisons.
My anxiety of understanding
or the lack thereof.


I want you to know my being like you know your own -
without distance.
I want you to know my heart like you know your own -
without question.
