missing

Making profiles was fun
All these idealized avatar versions of myself
But man, when it came to actually messaging with people
I was a disaster

My sense of humor was gone
My style, spark, and spunk
Because I realized that now
My entire sense of humor
Was based on life with Jasmine

So when I tried to make a joke
I would realize that that joke
Was a joke I'd had with Jasmine
And so I would feel a fraud

Like I was betraying our secret language

Sometimes it feels like half of me is mis-sing
Sometimes it feels like half of me is gone

There were emojis I couldn't use anymore
Devil, gekko, winkface
I tried getting into the new ones
Leopard, sunflower, squid
But fuck the old ones were still the best ones, you know

Sometimes it feels like half of me is mis-sing
Sometimes it feels like half of me is gone

Times
Feels
Half
Me
Miss

Times
Feels
Half
Me
Gone

So that's an example of the kind of thing
I learned you shouldn't say while messaging someone on a dating app
