Text of the page (random words):
turn to i can t do this with friends and i don t have her in my life and of course all of that are words i shouldn t say i just watched definitely maybe right after i had watched love actually i had seen love actually before and it s one of my favorite movies i cry every time watching the last part where the little boy is so excited because he took a chance and got to talk to his crush and then have her give him a kiss and then seeing the nervous man propose to his crush gets me every time seeing genuine happiness like that seeing genuine innocent love like that and seeing the genuine happiness when that genuine love is reciprocated i miss that so much and then definitely maybe oh brother another movie that hits home in a weird way sortof maybe but not actually but kinda in a way maybe they kept in contact through letters and calls for years but he never told her he fell in love and was engaged made me remember talking to her and realizing that she never told me for over a year that she was engaged why didn t she tell me were we just not that close why wouldn t she tell me that she fell in love and found the one she wanted to marry of course i never told her right away about marie granted i kept that from her because i didn t want her to think i was unavailable i still wanted her and would have dropped everything in my life in a heartbeat if i ever knew she wanted to take a chance with me is that why she kept the seriousness and the engagement from me did she feel the same way or had we drifted so far apart during that time that it just wasn t important to tell me had we become such strangers that we didn t share anything like that with one another or did she not tell me because she knew i would be jealous and she didn t want me to stop talking to her because of that i know i told her about my girlfriends sometimes because i wanted her to be jealous and want her to tell me she wanted to be my girlfriend of course she was never like that she would never do that to me she would keep it to herself maybe that s why she never said yes definitely that s why definitely maybe and then the book kept it to hold on to what little of her was left in his life reminded me of her tape she made me and her e mails and letters and cards i have them all tucked away to hold onto a piece of her in my life it s all i had left of her many times i didn t want to let go of her and i still haven t whether that is a good thing or a bad thing i don t know i ve driven her crazy the last few months mostly because i am crazy about her both figuratively and literally i think definitely maybe i drive myself crazy over her and i end up driving her crazy as a result of my craziness i realize i haven t been good to her all these years i haven t been good to her well most of the time i did but there were definitely times i have not been i ve been jealous i ve been selfish i ve been angry i ve been sad and i let that cloud and negatively affect how i was with her instead of doing what was in her best interest and being the friend i should have been i was selfish i let my jealousies and anger get in the way during the times i should have been patient and a true friend looking out for what she needed for her happiness for her best interests and she knows this and because of that she probably feels she can t trust me as an objective friend with her best interests and happiness in mind what kind of friend am i if i can t be that to her how selfish am i to make her not feel she can come to me not feel she can trust me not feel she can count on me when she needs me i want her to know she can count on me and she can definitely well maybe i still feel jealous when i think about her dating someone else not nearly as much as before because i see things clearly now between her and i i realize that it s not just the distance that is keeping us apart but also our differences we ve grown as individuals in different ways good ways but different and i realize now that those differences could be things that would prohibit us from being right for one another definitely well maybe sometimes i think that maybe we just need a chance to see see what would happen are we so different that we couldn t be right for each other would we clash in lifestyle attitude personality ideology sexually physically emotionally outlook on life love and family or would everything become secondary and inconsequential compared to the amazing love and bond we would have for one another how can we know unless we try i go back and forth wanting to give up the dream of her the dream of us wanting to get my mindset into knowing we will never be but we will always be friends good friends definitely well maybe maybe i don t have to give up the dream of her of us maybe she hasn t given up either what was she keeping from me earlier this week here by rascall flatts where did that come from was she trying to tell me something or was it really just some random song she thought i would like there s a place i ve been lookin for that took me in and out of buildings behind windows walls and doors and i thought i found it couple times even settled down and i d hang around just long enough to find my way back out i know now the place that i was trying to reach was you right here in front of me chorus and i wouldn t change a thing i d walk right back through the rain back to every broken heart on the day that it was breakin and i d retrieve all the years and be thankful for the tears i ve cried with every stumbled step that led to you and got me here right here it s amazing what i let my heart go through to get me where it got me in this moment here with you and it passed me by god knows how many times i was so caught up in holding what i never thought i d find i know now there s a million roads i had to take to get me in your arms that way repeat chorus in a love i never thought i d get to get to here and if that s the road god made me take to be with you repeat chorus and i d retrieve all the years and be thankful for all the tears i ve cried with every stumbled step that led to you and got me here right here oh baby ooo oh got me here god how these lyrics ring true with us how i ve felt about us about us does she feel that way too was that what she was trying to say when she asked me about the song she was acting very strange for the first time in 10 years she apologized for bothering me in 10 years she has never been a bother never ever i don t know if she really realizes that i ve always wanted her in my life and wish that every time we ve shared could last forever i wish that time could just stand still and everything else just drift away and we could just spend our time together no worries no stresses nothing just her and i together with all the time in the world to do with it as we wished even if it was just me watching her sleep breathing and out safely beside me i don t think she knows that and i don t think i can tell her for i still feel that any day now i will say something and it will scare her away again i know she says otherwise and i know she is sincere but i still have the fear inside i don t want to lose her she s here now and that s where i want her to stay she s here here what did she mean by that why did she get apologetic when she hasn t been that way since we first met i blew it off because i didn t want to get all mushy on her i didn t want to say exactly what came to mind when hearing the song and listening to the lyrics she could have just been listening to music like the song and wanted to know if i d heard it she could have been trying to tell me that she was glad we d gotten to where we are now through all the ups and downs and glad we are now friends or maybe she was also thinking like part of me and thinking that we d gotten through all this to come back to each other both now single both now grown both now stronger both now knowing more what we want both better knowing ourselves and better knowing what we want in life and love she could have been definitely well maybe maybe she was just weak from being sick and letting her temporary weakness cloud her emotions as i am doing now up late at night thinking of all this and she was just going down memory lane and thinking about all that and it really didn t mean anything at all and i m just looking way too far into things that don t exist yeah that s probably it me wanting to see something that s really not there yep definitely well maybe i dunno but it took me back back to when things were so simple between us even though they really weren t they at least seemed to be i knew i wanted her i was pretty confident she wanted me not for anything superficial like looks or sex or money or material possessions but for how we felt when we were with one another well as with one another as we could be through e mail im and phone but it still felt real the feelings inside were real the emotions were real the emotions and feelings and thoughts and dreams and debates and sadness and troubles and struggles and vulnerabilities we shared with one another were all real things seemed so simple i could pine away for her and feel comfortable doing so it wasn t my pining that scared her off but the distance and my job was simple back then i was just starting my career and progressing forward with learning new things meeting new people making a name for myself networking developing a reputation as a hard worker a diligent worker a detailed and organized person a go getter a positive optimistic person someone who would go the extra mile to get things done a team player and above all a man of intregrity whom everyone could trust i was rewarded for hard work being a good man a man of integrity paid off my hard work and diligence impressed people and they rewarded me with their trust and their loyalty when i needed them for support it was simple it all made sense my career was looking up and the sky was the limit i knew what i wanted to do i enjoyed what i was doing i enjoyed with whom i worked i looked forward to continuing to learn continuing to expand my knowledge and skills and looked forward to using my skills and knowledge to help my coworkers and my company succeed and then over the course of 6 months life stopped being so simple i miss the simplicity of life i miss knowing exactly what to expect i miss having control of my future i miss knowing exactly what and whom i can count on everything is so different she is different i am different my career is definitely different but maybe is everyone right this door of my life has closed are there others opening through which i should walk is this the chance i need to make other things happen is there a chance i can move back to chicago to work and be closer to family is there a chance that if that happens i could have a chance with her exactly 11 years ago my life was thrown into chaos but i took the internship in kansas city and it turned out to be the turning point in my life and the best thing that could have ever happened to me could this be another such opportunity could this be another turning point in my life which could turn into the best thing to ever happen to me up to this point everyone says so everyone says when one door closes many others open definitely maybe i guess we ll see december 21 2008 3 30am posted by michael in mi amy life love relationships romance comments off on words i shouldn t say about we don t read and write poetry
