I'm doing that thing again. Wanting someone I shouldn't want. Craving a closeness I shouldn't crave. Getting frustrated over my inability to live logic rather
Our song. This song. It just came on. This is so ironic. I thought I was over you. I was just talking about someone else. I was craving someone else. And now our song is playing and I am remembering the way you danced around your room and I laid on your mattress and I just laughed because life was so good and you were so good and love was so good and then you clambered over to me and kissed me like I was made of glass and I thought you would never let me go...and it's that part of the song when you would drink me in with your eyes and you'd sing it to me because it was us, this song is us and it will never be anything else and you could tell me that just with your eyes and maybe you already knew that we would fall apart but you couldn't tell me that because this was our song and you know how happy I was, how happy you made me, watching you dancing and singing and kissing and being--because I loved you most when you were just being. And all of that is this song.
I am a bit of a mess. I am craving one person who is not in any way good for me, and I am aching because of another who will never again be mine. I was so convinced I was done aching. And that made it okay for me to crave someone else. But now it is obvious that I do not love either of them, and I need to, yet again, find that place where I am content being alone.
The other night I took my rifle up to the attic and fired approximately 400 pellets at paper targets and if you had been standing in front of them you I would have shot you because my aim is excellent. I had Calvin Harris playing at dangerous decibels, but it was acceptable because the whole world should have been listening with me and feeling with me and concentrating on that bulls eye right where I think the dip in your collarbone would be if I lined you up correctly and maybe someone would understand the reasons why I have no lovers, only weapons and words and wantings.
