Do You

Is it really that crazy that I want so badly to get to know you?

I would not say so but I apparently I am wrong

I am left hanging and I do not understand

I am too eager and too focused

Would you whether be aloof and non-existent?

Who knows. All I hear is crickets, a silence so

deafening that so that it hurts. Not just my pride

But it hurts physically, emotionally, and logically too.

I feel like I am so close, yet I am so far. More like California

to Japan. The distance is unfathomable. Sometimes it

seems unfair, but there is nothing I can do but to remain

calm for fear of being crazy or over the top. On top of that,

no advice helps because everybody “has it together.” As a

matter of fact, “F” your advice. I’ll have to figure it out by myself.
