| "For this is the most comfortable place I've ever been, for it wasn't noticed that my heart was broken, until I returned again."
You know, I haven't felt this lost in years. And boy do I feel lost. Lost, and a little bit broken. I feel taped together. Attempted to be corrected with glue that just won't dry.
I probably haven't ever been this lost before, this broken before, because once you find your place to be, your place to love and be loved, and then lose it, its always worse than before you knew what was out there. And I was really good at loving and being loved. Especially the second part.
I need out. The past year feels empty. Motion without feeling. Feelings stolen from under my breath. Whispers never heard. We're grown-ups now. & I'm not so sure if I hate it. But I don't love it.
I need out.
And sometimes I feel like I'm no longer good at anything. Sometimes all I want/can do is cry. Sob. And hope it makes it better. It usually doesn't.
But I still have you. I know that I still have you. But that, that was me. That was ME. And everyone always loves themselves a little more.
And as things are finally falling into place, I still have an emptiness inside me that I just can't bear.
I'm lonely. I know that I still have you. But I don't have anyone else. And I just keep losing myself a little more.
And I wonder if you felt it too. And I wonder if you feel it now. And I wonder if that's why nothing can ever be that way again.
I had a feeling you know, that the best part was almost over. I did. Everyone told me that it was ridiculous. But I knew. Somewhere inside I could feel that the next year of my life would be worthless compared to what I had before.
And even now, even as I pull myself into a position where I can breathe, I can only breathe. Nothing more, nothing less. And I want more. I've had a taste, and I want more.
But I don't know what to do.
Look how little we were. How pretty we were. How we sparkled and shined. We were so whole. Naive.
Now we know heartache. We've met death. We live with loneliness. We are disappointed. And there's no cure for that, just relief.
Brief relief.
And now we're on the search for the cure for our broken hearts and injured spirits. And we're lost. More lost than we've ever been.
So as I try to drag myself into the light, I can feel something missing.
Something's not right. And all you can figure is that nothing ever is. But I've had a taste of almost-perfection.
And I want more.

| You are only whispers now. Echos that I can't quite hear. I think about you all the time. Haunted. | | |
| I can see the snow falling, like all our dreams aligned, and yet my heart is longing to hold your hand in mine, and as I long to linger with romance in the air, with you around my waist and your face in my hair, I can hear the clock chiming, as we make our sweet farewell, in my sweeping slumbers of our fairytale. ♥ | | |
| I wish I could of told you the truth, before it was too late. I'm sorry Brett. I'm sorry for not being there when you needed someone. I'm sorry for ignoring your feelings, for the sake of mine. I'm sorry our friendship suffered, and I'm sorry that I never told you what you meant to me. I'm sorry that I didn't fight harder for you. I'm sorry that I turned a blind eye to your troubles more often than not. You were a great man, and a great person. You were talented in ways others could never have dreamt of, and you had the potential that few could ever attain. You always made me laugh, made me smile. But yet you always understood, always listened, was always there. And yet I stood by, and watched you fall apart. I could of helped you. I should have tried harder. Pulled you back from the grasp of...death. It's hard to say it, that youre...gone, that youre dead. And never again will I see your smiling face, hear your corny jokes. Never again will I call you House, or talk to you about school, college, life, jhett. haha. Never again will i see you play the guitar, or the piano, and hear your talent come alive. I won't hear your voice singing in choir, or singing the beatles. No more parties in your basement. No more hot tub with giant spiders. No more Judge Turpin with that terrible wig, or your costume made from scratch, and your ghetto booty. Back when everything was perfect. We thought we were invincible. We'd do crazy things just for the thrill. Remember pumpkin stealing? In your jeep? And your clove cigarettes... How you always wore black tee-shirts and jeans. I remember meeting you in Ms.Lock's class in middle school. Remember when Paden and I brought you McDonalds in the hospital? That was ridiculous. Remember Balls on Kyleigh Weston's face? OMG. haha...And yet I never told you. I was afraid. Of what you'd say. Of what really was the truth. You were one of the greatest guys I've ever known. I thank you for being my friend. I thank you for the hug you gave me after the cast list was posted for Sammy's Swamp. I thank you for teaching me how to play the piano. After the texas incident, and robert was sick, even though the costumes weren't finished, or the set done, or any of us ready for Sweeney, you kept us in good spirits. You made the terrible times, memorable times. You made me laugh, even when I wanted to punch you in the face. In Fitz's class, I thought that I would just DIE from laughing. Honestly, your antics were the only thing that kept me awake most of the time. haha. And your green eyes always had a sparkle, and your smile lit up the room. Oh and when you had that curly crazy jew fro! I'll miss you so much Brett. The last time I saw you was what, Graduation? And your graduation party....when you wanted to eat the slice of cake that was you. I'll never forget you Brett. I love you. I hope that wherever you are, you're having the time of your life, because that's what you deserve. You've always deserved so much more than you gave yourself credit for. Bye Brett. I miss you. | | |
| I know that before we can jubilate at the top of the mountain, we must first wallow in the despair of the valley. It makes you grateful for what you have. I understand this, but it doesn't mean I like it nor does it make it any easier. So, for right now, push me further down the priority list, what you want now will prosper tenfold in the future. I won't be happy about it, but I know that it will pay off in the long run. We're so close to reaching our goals, our dreams, that it would be foolish to stray from the path for a short term happy filled afternoon with me, if it could delay the infinate happiness over the horizon. Iloveyou.
You. You... What to say about you? I'm not sure if I want you in my life anymore. I have been aching for moments with you, but then so terribly let down at the moments I recieved. When did you become the hypocrite? You were always the logical one, the one that thought it all through. The one who was damn near perfect, and it seems as if you are wasting away before my eyes to a totally different person. The more you become his girlfriend, it seems the less you are my bestie. I blame myself partially for your need of attention, semi deserting you for my own relationship. But you are blinded by what you think you have. Your so-called perfection has slowly warped your being, and our previously shared weekend antics have left you morally, if not spiritually destroyed. You are no longer the girl that I love and keep close and dear to my heart. At least not that I can tell. If she's still there then you can let her know that I will always love her, and will forever be waiting for her, whenever she calls. If not, then I'm not sure whether or not we'll hold our bearings.
As for you. And you. And especially you. I'm leaving. Dunno if you were aware of that or not, but the moment I possibly can stand on my own feet, I'm gone. And Especially, thank you for being there for me when I could not stand my ground for the enemy was predijuced and ununderstanding. Thanks a ton. But I'm not a victim any longer. So quit treating me like I'm six, and let go. Just Stop.
I am still the Drama Queen, I hope you did not forget. This is a foreshadowing reminder that it will not be forgotten again. I'm still Diva, top dog, superior Bitch. I'm hot, I'm fabulous, and I don't need permission. Just clarifying.
Amen. | | |
