You look me in the eyes

And tell me that you see me

Yet the sun has set below us

So the screen is what stands between.

Tears, my stranger, look!

3 deep breaths, unfreeze.

Repeat until it's easier

Let the noises drown in the black seas.

It's late. I just watched this:

And now I'm like this: πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΉπŸ˜­

But my soul feels just a tiny bit more like this: 😌

*deep breath*

Goodnight πŸ’–πŸŒ±βœ¨
