I like this a lot for some reason. Not because you’re alone at the moment, goodness no. But because I know that feeling quite well.
distance is hard, and I don’t even have to deal with it often, or even very much distance. I can only imagine how hard that must be!
I almost used your toothbrush, and I thought to myself, ‘what an intimate thing!’ as I pawed the barren region I now think of as your side of the bed.

you were just a number, I never knew your name.
on the nights I was the loneliest, you seemed to feel the same.

"What is it? My dear?"
"Ah, how can we bear it?"
"Bear what?"
"This. For so short a time. How can we sleep this time away?"
"We can be quiet together, and pretend - since it is only the beginning - that we have all the time in the world."
"And every day we shall have less. And then none."
"Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?"
"No. This is where I have always been coming to. Since time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere. "

Oh shit what if Matt Berninger follows us on tumblr? I don’t want to freak him out. I probably already have though. Sorry Matt, message me and I’ll buy you a bottle of wine.
If you think YOU’VE freaked him out, imagine how I feel…oh god. I’d have to buy him a handle of Jack.

So putting your name into “Karen” isn’t good enough now?
My mom’s name is Caron. I want my own. *come on Matt Berninger I know you’re reading this*

tall-kingdom replied to your post: Now now… I’ll be OK. The new background is quite pretty. I just need a period of re-adjustment. What with this and Robin Pecknold shaving his beard, the world is just a scarier and more unpredictable place than I would like it to be.
It is for that reason that, during this time of great change, we must take comfort in the constants, such as the beauty of...

I sat in her room, biding my time, drinking her wine. We talked until two and then she said ‘it’s time for bed.’

Same here! There’s no real reason to be upset about it, but…really, it would just be nice to have someone sing about you, even if it’s not really you, haha.
I’m not actually upset, but I think of all the classic songs with names in them and I get wildly jealous. Karen, Caroline, Ada, Jolene, Lola...

I know it was.. but even so.. you could never disappoint anyone… AT LEAST NEVER ME.
:’) oh you sweet thing! I’m actually quite disappointing, on a regular basis! I’m awfully good at it.
There are absolutely no songs (in my knowledge) that have the name Caitlyn in them. I think about this all the time, and it distresses me greatly. It’s just not fair.
I hate the sound of my roommates laughing without me. I hate tiptoeing into my own room. I hate that I eat when I have nothing else to do. I hate that I miss my boyfriend and it has only been 12 hours since I saw him last.
