I remember.
I remember the moment I realized that I loved you.
I thought I did before.
I thought I would be with you,
sometime, soon.
I remember.
I remember the moment we met, years before.
I remember being too caught up in my own crap.
I remember that my world was ending.
and then;
you.
I remember the moments inbetween.
I remember trying to get your attention.
what a fool he was,
trying to win a battle
I'd already won.
I remember the words not written.
the words never said.
I remember thinking
how you _must_ be smitten.
I remember when I had to go.
the moment I became my own foe.
the moment I assumed,
you'd share my joy.
my enjoyment.
my
I hope you're happy
I'll say it gladly
and mean it too.
as I quietly grit my teeth
and clench my fists.
I look up wistfully
and regret every missed moment
as I quietly welcome the burn in my throat
and feel the familiar wetness building.
I reach up
and pour out another
as I think about the story this bottle could tell
and relish another valentine's day alone.
someday I hope
I'll look back at this memory
she'll be with me
and I'll be happy. enough.
someday, one day
I'll wake up
head, not clouded with you
and I hope I'll smile
I hope you're happy
I hope you smile
as you kiss him goodbye
and you wish
never to part again
you know, I dreamt about you
I used to wonder what it'd be like, you and me.
everybody thought you were clumsy
even me
but I thought something else too
more like
I used to wonder what you'd look like for prom
because you'd be so suited to something so elegant
even if you kept telling me you would hate it.
some of the other girls said you were spindly
of course they'd say that, they weren't as tall as you
every time I looked, I thought you were so beautiful
so toned from running and playing every sport you could
even when you had to cut your hair short,
even though I hated it,
you were still amazing.
I guess, since I've known y
I asked you to come here.
you said no.
I want you to come here.
now you can.
but you won't.
I'm losing this battle, between me and myself.
against you and yourself.
against everything and everybody.
I wonder if it will be a mistake to be there so soon after.
or if it was a mistake not to be there sooner.
so where are we now?
after I couldn't man up last year.
after these last few years.
where are we now, both with broken hearts.
where are you now?
are you running to his arms?
will you ever long for mine? (like I have for yours?)
if ever I wanted to be with you,
it is now.
if I can't bring myself to you.
if you can't come t
I loved yesterday
I loved what it meant
I loved the awkward, painful, mind-numbing stupidity of it all
I loved you
you gave me purpose
you gave me focus
you gave me direction and the willpower to overcome the biggest fears I had
even when I was a nomad, wondering aimlessly in life
I loved yesterday
I loved you
I loved what it meant
what it meant to me
I loved every minute we spent together
the smallest fraction of time that my mind could process
I loved it
every awkward glance
every awkward laugh
every time we poured out our hearts to each other
but I suppose that's gone now
maybe you are a true friend
and maybe I can't he
we keep saying all these nothings
just friendly conversation
and it kills me
all I can think about is you
and how much I want to scream out loud
"I love you"
people say that I shouldn't say it
but every last fibre of me screams
I know that you're everything
everything I'd ever hoped for
everything to me
and I hate that I can't tell you
I keep trying
I keep writing to you
it should be so obvious
everybody else around us can see it
neither of us can, apparently
we keep talking
and saying nothing
this isn't what I want
you tell me that you're feeling down
I'm trying to cheer you up a little,
and you shoot me down.
I feel
another moment without you by flyboywind, literature
Literature
another moment without you
you make my heart flutter
what gift of gab?
I can't find words when you're around
the words I work so hard to use well
my belly shakes like I'm freezing
I have this feeling
like I should tell you how I feel
before somebody else does
before its too late
before my heart dies from beating too hard
my friends ask me what I see in you
especially when she's all but throwing herself over me
when all my "friends" are jealous that someone so "hot"
would want someone like me
even though I'm nearly blind
aren't they the ones that can't see?
just how beautiful you are
how beautiful your heart is
and there you go
you smile at me again

"do you miss me?"
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if you can say it's as simple as "miss"
you're not here anymore
you're not with me anymore.
does that fit "miss"?
I have this funny feeling all the time.
if its all the time, I should get used to it, right?
then how would I know its still there?
does that mean "I miss you"?
I want to talk to you all the time
I wish I had the time
I need your advice
or maybe I want to hear at least one friendly voice
I can barely remember what it sounds like
does that mean "I miss you"?
what does that mean?
is it something like how I feel?

sorrow, but not

hey ya'll. it's been a while.
here's my once-a-year update.
we're 8 years (and change) on from the last time everything fell to pieces. I'm waiting for it to happen again. really, I'm astonished that I've made it this far.
