"It's rock-paper-scissors as to whether
I will get over you at all
It's hand against hand
and both hands are mine

I never thought I'd see the day
when I would say, I give up
And break the stallions of my wildest expectations
But I do not want to know you this way,
surrounded by so much pain
And how am I supposed to let go of you this way?"
- Ani DiFranco, Rock Paper Scissors

You will have to admit that you care."

Mine

And to prove I was a real leader, me the shy quiet guy with a loud commanding voice I had some work to do, or in this case the romantic who could do more than stutter I have a lot of work to do, but here goes: There are quotes about just about everything love is loving yourself, life is worthless without love, there aren’t enough starts to mark your greatness, love is missing the flaws, the list goes on, but few truly say what I truly wish to say. So. . . I love when you smile. . . I love knowing I made you happier. . . I love when you have fun with your friends. . . I love hearing you were talking about me. . .

. .I could go on forever beyond the number of quotes I found, beyond the number of stars in the sky, but you probably have class to worry about so c ya later.

"I would trade lives with you in an instant, not because I hate my life or its miserable, but rather because I love my life and only wish you could experience it too."

Me aka the weird guy

If a life could be ruined by a single broken heart. . . wouldn't most the world be ruined. You can't think that just because you broke someone's heart their life is ruined. I was bound to have someone else do it sooner or later. The first time will always be the hardest one, after that you're no longer like a newborn baby who finds everything amusing because its new to them, but you’re then a little more ready and hardened, and really u know it will be ok, because the last time it was. . .or so I hope I get that far.

Say What

Ha, you have done it, you have managed to make one of those life-changing marks on a life. , You can never be forgotten.

How come when everything seems to finally fit, everything seems so perfect, I have enough achievements to smile back on and there are things left to fail, but only enough that there’s hope that I can succeed and maybe grow. How come now when everything is almost exactly as I could have wished it am I so miserable?

I was sure of something all along, but they all either weren’t sure or told me I was wrong, so I fought and battled to make it right, but in the end when I finally managed to listen, I learned I was right all along.

There is so much I can say for once so much I was ready for, I finally had the will to act, I finally had the courage to move, but just too late as now that I had it my hands were tied, my lips are sealed, and my movement is frozen.

I miss so much. . .the problem is most of what I miss I still have.
I miss my friends, I miss myself, I miss my life.
I have my friends they never left me, I backed them off a little for someone I have lost, but never told them I found and probably won't find again, but these friends I don't miss for they haven't changed, its the friends I brought closer the friends that weren't mine, the friends I borrowed, the friends I stole, who are still close friends but just not mine for they belong to someone else.
I miss myself the unfeeling guy who paced in a corner, happy when he wanted to be, sad too if he wanted, causing smiles sometimes, and always talking to himself with out a care of sanity. Such long and tried debates with a guarantee of losing, and only small risk of harming others, or even the other guy who talked less to himself and more to another, shy as always but not worried, trying to be the greatest friend always trying to help, always happy and smiling, the saddest thing for him was others misery. I miss him too, if only I could have one of them back but no I get neither.
I miss my life; yet I still live; my future is not ruined. It rather seems a dream to most including me who see it, but I like the old one better it was only me I harmed, and I didn't have to worry about others most the time. I didn't have the guilt of making others miserable, I miss my old life but what is there to do other than starting to like my new one.
Well for now good bye and smile all another post that can be seen from me to all who care to read

I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish

I wish I could hit publish I wish I could. . . I wish I would if only one sentence if only one word if only a letter or even a number, if I was only allowed to type a symbol or a slash, or if it were only an underscore I wish I could. . . post it I wish I could IM it, I wish I could email it I wish I could say it, but all I can do is think it, I'm not allowed to say, not till she says I can say, but I fear when she says it. . .it will be to late.

A comment that never could be posted 2/5/05 5:34pm

Love is the most selfish emotion, it makes you forgot about all others, all else, all needs in an effort to fill that burning whole left by love. I used to be so selfless caring almost nothing for myself, always wanting others to succeed holding doors open when I could be that first class gentleman to always help out, but then love hit me on the head. After that others didn’t matter all I wanted was to fulfill that spot of love to make it stop hurting, to feel the warmth again, all I wanted was to make it work, but in the hope of following love, I only held the door half heartedly I stopped worrying about them, with only one thing in mind. . . Love, the most selfish emotion. 2/5/05 5:57pm

A single tear a solitary tear, is all I give to the outside world,
A single tear from my right eye sits upon my face,
A single tear I wipe away,
A single tear returns.

I thought I was thinking of just the roofers above my head but,
I don't think I would lose a tear just for them so,
I thought maybe it was for the sleep I lost,
I went to bed early but got little sleep,

For last night I went to bed, at 9 but was wide awake till 11 still actively thinking,
For this morning I was up at 4:15 eating breakfast starving for some sad reason,
For myself I thought till 5:15 before thinking of sleeping and then,
For waking up I was up by 7 with a single tear, a solitary tear

Then I sat and thought for an hour maybe longer who really cares,
Then I turned the tv on not thinking any more,
Then I witnessed a Valentine's commercial,
Then I had a tear a solitary tear sitting upon my left eye

Now my single solitary tear is gone, the one and only one,
Now I'm typing this knowing no one will see it,
Now I'm back to me, wondering who cares,
Finally I"m done, It no longer continues.?

from me to her who I dare not tell

That was rough.... Thing to do now is try and forget it.... I guess I don't quite mean that. It's not a thing you can forget. Maybe not even a thing you want to forget.... Life's like that sometimes... Now and then for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just haul off and knock him flat, slam him agin' the ground so hard it seems like all his insides is busted. But it's not all like that. A lot of it's mighty fine, and you can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad. That makes it all bad.... Sure, I know - sayin' it's one thing and feelin' it's another. But I'll tell you a trick that's sometimes a big help. When you start lookin' around for something good to take the place of the bad, as a general rule you can find it. ~From the movie Old Yeller
