Please reblog if you are over 25 years old. I need to convince myself that I'm not just communicating with 13 year olds. Not that they aren't nice mind you, but sometimes I feel like the only old person on tumblr.

"I still have the brown flannel shirt my mom bought from his mom even though my shoulders have finally grown out of it. I like to imagine you kissing him in it between long drags of his cigarette, like destruction belonged on his lips more than you did. I could never throw away being that close.
I want to be enough for you. I want to be more than an eleventh grade biology experiment or he’s cute for a trans guy or closing your eyes while you touch me even though the lights are off.
I blame myself for thinking you could ever love me. My voice merely a squeak next to his booming; my neck smooth and straight wishing every gulp you’ve made me swallow would get stuck and form a lump in my throat. Every sharp cut he carved into your trust sliced across my chest so maybe we could both be okay with you laying on it.
I wonder if you’d introduce me to your mom. If she would ask why I looked so young. I wonder if she would think I was his stunt double, a punching bag to jab your spear-ended love into the places I hurt most.
I bought a new brown flannel shirt today even though we haven’t spoken in weeks. I like to imagine criss crossed thoughts late at night in your backyard, winding our limbs together like thread, kissing you like nothing belonged on my lips more than you did. I could never dream of being that close."
