At times I sit and think of where we were and how far we’ve come
Boundless love
A bond everlasting
We laugh at time because it could never be a factor for “our love”
The thoughts of a fool
The thoughts of a shameless, helpless fool who can’t bare reality
A dreamer they should call me
Because I have yet to wake up
Practice makes perfect they say
So perhaps if I practice …
Perhaps if I perfect the things I’ve known you to love
Perhaps I make the conscious decision to …
Sigh …
I’m not sure why I still try
Or why I pursue these feelings of old as if they would change the current
As if they would change the now
As if we still stood a chance
I practiced!!
Until I was perfect
Perfect for you! Perfect for me!
I practiced… on my own… away from our discombobulated love
And so did you!
And now you’re perfect
Perfect for you! Perfect for me!
You practiced…. On your own… and now…. You don’t need me!
You’ve made a life for yourself
And so have I
Our relationship faux-pas meant nothing in the grand scheme of things
And I hope they still mean nothing to you
I hope they are so meaningless, we might one day reconnect
I haphazardly twiddle my fingers in anticipation of your message
Yooooo ….. Lol …. And it’s like we’ve never stopped
But until then, at least we’ve made it!

I Could Really Care Less
As individuals, I believe that we are all in apt playing different roles. It makes us strong and gives us meaning. I have several, but the two most prominent are the “Anti-Social Butterfly” and “I Really Could Care Less” roles. I like to think that I’m gifted with words and the art of rebuttals. I can debate on just about any subject or share my opinion with anyone. It’s funny because from the outside looking in people would think that I thrive in social situations, however, the reality is that I cringe at the thought. I’m a social recluse for many reasons. Some of which are, I prefer the company of my own thoughts, sharing my feelings with others gives me anxiety, and I’m a serious control freak. I use to be able to channel these feelings into my writing, but as of late they’re all very much bottled.
