WE ARE BOTH VICTIMS. Both victims of you. I wonder if you even know that you are hurting her as much as you hurt me. I wonder if you know that you hurt me. But this time, it’s worse. Because I know how she feels and I don’t want her to feel it, too. But, I already forgave you for hurting her, even though I don’t know her. This needs to stop. I wonder if you know what she’s going through. If you know about what she’s thinking. But there’s no way you do. You would know.
Please, please, listen. I want you to be happy, so that means she must be happy, too.
There is so much lightning. And no thunder to ballance it.
I know you probably had better things to do. I know you didn’t really want to talk to me. But you did. And I thank you. Every time I refreshed the page, and you had a new comment, I smiled inside. I know I had to push the conversation along. But you stayed, and responded until I couldn’t think of anything else to ask.
At dinner, I couldn’t help but hope I’d see your face coming around the corner outside. I knew you wouldn’t come, but if you had, well, I would have been over joyed.
I can’t wait for this summer. When we will be together. I know I’m being selfish, keeping you from who you want to be with, but I can’t help it. I know you love being with my family, and I know I love being with yours, but why is it so awkward for us when other people, who don’t know our relationship, see? Is that why you inbox me instead of writing on my wall? Why you don’t respond to online comments until we’re in person?
Even my friends notice you. When they say “Oh, your friend is coming over here,” I look and watch you stop at the trash can and turn around. I wonder if I do this to you? If I look like I’m coming to your table, only to watch me walk by without saying hi? If I do, I’m sorry. Because I know how it feels.
Either way, thanks for being there. Even for our short conversation about nothing important. You’re awesome.
Vada: [after Vada and Thomas kiss] Say something, it’s too quiet.
Thomas : Umm, Ummmmm…
Vada: Just hurry.
Thomas : I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America…
Vada, : …And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
“my girl”
You haven’t responded, and its been 48 hours. And I know you’ve been online.
Am I being too desperate?? It’s not like I’m into you. I know you have a girlfriend, but am I close enough to you that you respond to everyone who writes on your wall except me? I can even feel how non enthusiastic you are through your typed words. Is it because, sometimes, I think we have a past? Is it because you just don’t want to be friends? How sad is that. All I need from you is some words with truth and meaning. Can you do that? For me?
But no mater what I do, when I think of you I can’t help but smile.
I want to dance in the rain. Feel the pitter-patter on my face. Smile up to the clouds. With you.
