Dear, fuckificare

Yeah…

I guess…

That doesn't really stop me from being pathetic, though…

That's just one more thing we can work on together, I guess.

Sincerely, Me

Dear, Birch

Yeah, it is.

Another reason to talk to the one person who will listen to me.

Like I really needed any other excuse…

Dear, fuckificare

Hey.

I woke up way early than necessary.

I'm sure you're still asleep and that's okay.

I just needed to do something to keep my mind off the deafening silence.

Dear, Birch

No, I get it…

Sorry I wasn't up earlier to talk with you and quiet the silence.

Sorry that didn't make sense…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds silence deafening, though.

Dear, fuckificare

It's alright.

I managed through it well enough.

I would have been more surprised if you were awake.

I did send that really early.

Dear, Birch

Yeah, I guess I do wake up pretty late…

Sorry.

I'll try to get up a little earlier from now on.

Dear, fuckificare

No, don't change your sleep schedule for me.

I'm fine on my own, really.

I'm used to it.

Wait. That sounded really passive aggressive.

I didn't mean it like that.

I really am okay.

Don't worry about me.

Dear, Birch

Nope. Too late.

I've already changed the time on my alarm.

I'm gonna be one of those mythical people who actually wake up early for no real reason.

Also.

I knew you weren't trying to be passive aggressive or anything, so it's all good.

Sincerely, Me
