Definitions from Oxford Languages
“This is so absurd” she said between laugh and sob.
“What?” He asked.
“We…,” silent
“…our feelings.” She continue.
“I don’t know why I cry.” She wants to laugh at her own absurdity. Maybe this feeling has changed her nuts.
“But I know…”
She heard him said that but not sure, “Wha…?”
“… you just a cry-baby.” He continue, before the deep rumble of his laugh sending warm to her ears, and down to the soul.
“I’m not!” She whines, because, hey, woman has her pride too.
The deafening silence should make it uncomfortable, but it’s strangely bearable. She wants to say so many things, of how she feels like a mess without him, of how everything seems different now she knew the taste of living with him. But…
“I miss you.” He said.
Good God
How could he?
Just saying something that she should have said a long minute ago. How everything seems so easy on him to say the words that had been builded inside her chest, is charmingly annoying.
She should say, ‘I miss you too’. But the weight in her chest suddenly feels too much, because those words make everything that she’s been try, to prevent her emotion break will come undone. She miss him, God, really, really miss him. But saying it out loud will makes it all real and she is aware of how that affects herself. She feels empty every time he isn’t by her side. It sounds stupid because thats will be so clingy of her.
But screw clingy. A woman can only takes a little and she is so done with this stupid longing. So she just broke down in her room, in the middle of the night with her phone clutched in her damp hand.
So much for some pride.
