i don't understand.

this...thing...

it's eating me away.
little by little, devouring me. all of me.
some would call it love.
i call it annoying.
i call it something i'm incapable of attaining.
i call it a monster...a cold, unforgiving, life-taking monster.
i can't explain all the ways you devastate me.
"the more you love someone, the less sense it makes."
then i must love you a lot.
but why?
loving someone only gives them the power to break you.
i want to talk to you so bad...
but it's all just another failed attempt.
and yet i keep crawling back to you.
because maybe...maybe this time...
but "this time" never seems to get here.
...is love just a conspiracy?
just a theory that gives us a reason to live?
to wake up in the morning?
you can't look out your window when you wake up in the morning without seeing hate.
but love could be sitting right next to me, soundly sleeping, with me not giving it a chance to wake up and rub the sleep out of its eyes.
does that make me the blind one?
the one that's searching to the point of death for this thing i don't know exists?
i'd die for it.
there's nothing that could change my mind.
but...i can't see it, let alone feel it.
love?
i don't know the meaning of the word.
but it has to mean something to someone.



gone.

this...

was not supposed to happen.
how could i?
how could i be so hateful?
i wished for nothing beyond your smile.
and i swear i didn't mean for it to feel like this.
i'm sorry i wasn't what you wanted me to be.
i wish it didn't have to end this way.
if there was one thing i could say to you...
it would be to never abandon who you are.
if that means the hopeless romantic...
the hopelessly confused teenager...
the dreamer...
the liar...
the sugar coated wonder i want to see when i look at you...
the friend...
don't forget who he is.
who ever you are.
because that is the one i love so dearly.
don't lose sight of that man.
i told you once that your life would be so much better if i was never a part of it.
now do you believe me?
if i hadn't said a word to you...
you'd still be in love with her.
you'd still be just fine.
but i had to come in...
swoop down and steal everything.
words can't express how sorry i am...
sorry that it had to end like this...
sorry i ever tried to understand...
so, so sorry i wasted my time.
i still love you dearly.
and we will meet again.
someday.
this isn't goodbye.
it is merely a see-you-later.
it's never goodbye.
because i'll see you again...
i'll see you again in the greatest unknown.
and i'll continue to wait.

didn't anybody tell you?

you are not pathetic.

pathetic is the last word i'd use to describe you.
you're beautiful.
smart.
you know me better than i know myself sometimes.
hilarious.
sincere.
honest.
loving.
confused.
sappy.
but definitely not pathetic.
you're just following your heart because it's the only thing you can trust anymore.
but now you don't know if you can trust even your heart.
you're afraid it'll just stab you in the back like it has in the past.
who are we to trust what the heart says?
why would we listen if it's the cruelest friend we have?
something so beautiful and painful it's eating us alive...
and all we do is sit and watch.
it's like that horrible, bloody car wreck that took your best friend's life.
you can't look away.
i've screwed with your life in more ways than anyone should.
but i can't help thinking God gave me your friendship for a reason.
we both grew up bowling in the beansprout and getting in trouble for rollerblading around moody!
who else does that but two friends connected at the heart when they were born?
i met you two years ago.
we were fast friends.
was it too fast?
we've crashed and burned so many times...
there are things i've said to you i wish with all of me i could take back.
i mess with you.
i know what i'm doing.
and i can't leave it alone.
i like to pretend i control things.
i like to pretend i can somehow make everything better if i just push hard enough.
it's so fun to pretend.
but pretending has taken lives.
precious lives.
lives that no one can get back.
someday everything will work.
God, it has to.
