muffy69 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 P, Nope, I haven't gotten tired of you. Nope, I haven't forgotten you. Nope, I haven't thought of ignoring you. I just had a lousy week at work and have been fighting a bout of bronchitis for days now. I called in sick today and went to my primary care physician to get antibiotics because gulping Sudafed tablets nor downing almost 1 and 1/2 bottles of Robitussin aren't helping me ease this terrible nose and chest congestion. If you call me right now, you probably would just waste your money because you wouldn't be able to understand my "ngongo" voice due to this darn congestion. Aaargh! I apologize if you thought I misunderstood what you misunderstood. I don't want to go into details again but I'll just bury the hatchet and forget about where I buried it so I wouldn't be able to dig it up again if the mood strikes. Being a veteran of pen pal writing and now cyber-friendship with the dawn of the internet, I've learned the hard way not to dwell on hurtful words to preserve my self-esteem as well as the other party's self-esteem. (I wonder what my prof in Psychology would say about me now.) So you like me. For some weird, unfathomable and unexplainable reason, I do like you too. Now wipe that stupid grin (again, your grin is stupid not you so don't think I'm insulting you) off your face and read on if you can still stomach this cyber-ramblings that are automatically and uncontrollably pouring out of my fingertips to be absorbed by the keyboard and sent via cyber-osmosis to you. Ahihihi. What the heck am I talking about about? My Critical Writing prof would probably rise from her grave and kick herself out of the coffin just to slap me for writing some pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook nonsense. Ahihihi. Anyway, do I have anything to report to you during my cyber-absence from your inbox? What can I say except that I'VE BEEN ALONE SINCE FRIDAY AND WILL BE ALONE UNTIL X-MAS EVE. (Now, why am I shouting? Ahihihi. I think the meds I just took have a narcotic effect and I'm really high right now. ) All my relatives from the cities of Pinole, Vallejo, Stockton, Whittier and here in Hercules left last Friday for a 7-day cruise to the Caribbean and Puerto Rico. I didn't go for numerous reasons: (1) my boss won't let me since there are already two people going on vacation this week; (2) I have no more moolah for a vacation since I spent most of it last May in the Phils; (3) I don't like to go on vacations with my family. No kidding. And may I repeat what I said a few paragraphs above. For some unfathomable and unexplainable reason, I do like you too. I think the fact that you're the most different of the ones who've befriended me is one thing that makes me spend writing a very rare kilometric epistle. Befriending you and learning about you through e-mail are unique experiences for me. Because if I were still my former stiff self (way back in college), I probably would be wary of people like you and wouldn't care about understanding what makes you tick. Being a teacher opened my mind to welcome different kinds of students and to seek out the needy, the ignored, the average, the problematic and the strange. Hmm...did I say unfathomable and unexplainable reason? I think I've just given you the reasons. Ahihihi. I could end with "keep the faith," or "keep it real" but that wouldn't be too original. So let me just end with this ... It is I .. no one to get excited about, A Quote Link to comment

Wyld Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) Who I Am Hates Who Ive Been I watched the proverbial sunrisecoming up over the Pacific andyou might think I'm losing my mind,but I will shy away from the specifics... 'cause I don't want you to know where I am'cause then you'll see my heart in the saddest state it's ever been. This is no place to try and live my life. Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.Stop right there. Well I never should have said that it's the very moment thatI wish that I could take back. I'm sorry for the person I became.I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.I'm ready to try and never become that way again'cause who I am hates who I've been.Who I am hates who I've been. I talk to absolutely no one.Couldn't keep to myself enough.And the things bottled inside have finally begun to create so much pressure that I’ll soon blow up. I heard the reverberating footstepssinking up to the beating of my heart,and I was positive that unless I got myself together,I would watch me fall apart. And I can’t let that happen again‘cause then you’ll see my heartin the saddest state it’s ever been. This is no place to try and live my life. Who I am hates who I've beenand who I am won’t take the second chance you gave me.Who I am hates who I’ve been‘cause who I’ve been only ever made me... So sorry for the person I became.So sorry that it took so long for me to change.I’m ready to try and never become that way again‘cause who I am hates who I’ve been.Who I am hates who I’ve been. Damn.

Red`` Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hey, The day you left me, I didn't know what to do, I just knew one day I will be missing you, for you to take our love and not give it another thought. For my last letter I will write I just want to say goodnight and good luck because you know deep down I am the woman for you, but like you always said if we are meant to be we will be.

Wyld Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 2 days to Christmas Sweetest one... Yes, I still dare call you that because that has remained unchanged. You still are the sweetest thing that has happened to me. Its almost Christmas. I hope things are well. I hope that things are working out the way you had intended them to. Honestly, you know what I am hoping for. You know the deepest wish I hide in the darkest place I know of. I shall not speak of that... I will only wish good things for you. All joy, all happiness, all fulfillment. They say love is the sincere desire for the good of the one beloved. If that is so, then I must really love you... because inspite of what my heart wants, inspite of all my brattiest instincts, I gave way. I gave you what you wanted. At the expense of my happiness. I have never been this selfless before, perhaps because I have never truly loved this way before. You are, you will remain to be my sweetest one. For now, for always. I miss you. May your Christmas be filled with love and joy. May your New Year be blessed and plentiful. -Nina Quote Link to comment
Barenaked-NoMre Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) I, The last time we met ... just confirmed that the "sizzle has fizzled". It just wasnt like it was before. We were un-comforable ... scrambling for things to say to break the silence. It's been over anyway ... for a long time, hasnt it? I was just too stupid or stubborn to admit and let go. It's now 2006 ... time to go our seperate ways and find NEW friends. Good luck ... with that and work. A Edited January 1, 2006 by barenaked Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) Its strange how a single lilac envelope can have so much power that it has unhinged me. Over the past weeks, since that day when I got that fateful message, I have slowly but surely gotten to a point of balance. It was a fragile balance, admittedly, but it let me live my days in relative sanity. It let me smile again, it let me laugh sometimes. It helped me get through Thanksgiving and Christmas. It helped me live. I had no plans of checking the mailbox outside the house last night – it was late, it was cold, I needed to get to bed….but there was almost this push, this urge to go out, inspite the lateness of the hour, to get the mail. When I opened the mailbox, there was this lone lilac envelope waiting for me there. My heart skipped a bit and a floodgate of memories opened. I read, I wept, I remembered. I got unhinged. You are the only one who can put me back together again. Edited December 27, 2005 by Wyld Quote Link to comment

KristinLavransdatr Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 i once promised myself i won't fall for a poet. for some are fools. some unfaithful. some forgetful. of promises. and most don't stay and leave you awed, and later hurting wondering what it was that hit you, what it was that you lost. but why shun away from poets? at least they leave you with something when all is over. you sleep with their metaphors, make bookmarks of their villanelles. ordinary men leave you with nothing but ordinariness. ordinary pain, below average longing, mediocre goodbyes, and uncreative silences. i'd rather have a poet hurt me. the god of words. the weaver of magic. the master of cliches.

in_style Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 i guess at the end of it, i was hoping and expecting that youwill keep your end of the bargain. that's how i value yourword. but it seems it's water under the bridge. how unfortunate,since it was you who said that friendship ranks more thananything. i dont want to hope anymore. i've thought about it many timesand it still ends up with 'do nothing'. i suppose that's how isshould be. honestly, i am disappointed with you. i expectedmore from someone like you. oh well... i dont think i will carry the burden after all.have a good life... or whatever is left of it!
