telling time and confused boys.

relationships aren't easy.

2 months in and you've stopped telling me what's going on with your life so i have to find out through the grape vine. 

3 months in now. if i want to talk about how you have been acting lately you are quick to tell me that there's nothing wrong and i should not worry. i'm suppose to be your other half, how can i not worry ?

6 months in and we're constantly fighting over stupid secrets and buttons that won't stay on. you don't care about the buttons or secrets, but i do. i want you to care too. you don't though, and that's a problem.

7 months in and i'm wondering why i am still with you. 

7 months & 3 weeks in and i'm reminded of why i still love you. you take me out fishing at dawn and we listen to some mainstream music and laugh at all the bad things that has happened to us that week. we lived through it, as usual. 

10 months in and the cold shoulder treatment has started again. you stopped calling, you keep bailing on me and your car has began to smell like that same scent from when we went on our 4 month anniversary date and you promised me you weren't going to smoke weed again. 

1 year & 2 months in and i broke down crying in front of my little brother while he was watching spongebob squarepants on the telly. he called for mom because he thought i was hurt but didn't know where. i bet you knew where.

1 year & 10 months in and we said our last goodbyes without any tears being shed. we're both too proud to show weakness like that but i swear i heard your voice tremble a bit when you said my name.

I always had a little trouble telling time too . . .

vivid and raw writing here . . .

Relationships aren't easy, they never will be.
I think if I was the girl in this I would have left him a long time ago. But I'm not.
It was a good piece, it has a few typos and could be better but every writing needs some improvement. Good job.
