I miss you. I miss your arms around me. I miss your mismatched
sheets and comforter and the way you'd force me to play chess. And
the way you'd make fun of the faces I make when I'm trying to be tough
and how you'd sing Tori to me till I fell asleep. I miss your smell on
my pillow case and your taste on my lips. Every place I drive by that
we once were together, I miss you- and I hate myself for missing you.
You are the one thing I want to erase from my life- you are my one
regret, my vice. I'm transferring college in a few months and I will
go away from here and meet all new people. I will flirt and I will
date and I will compare every guy to you. I will read poems about love
and hear songs on the radio and every word will remind me of you. I
will try to forget you and I will cry at night because you stay with
me like myself.
I wish there was some way I could explain how I feel in terms even
you would understand- how blurred the line between love and hate has
become. I can't see the line anymore, Michael. It's disappeared. I
hate that I love you and I love you anyway. I want to hurt you like
you've hurt me but you can't be hurt and I wouldn't know how.
You once told me that thoughts of me were followed by a sweet
smelling breeze. Well, I wish you wouldn't think of me then. Why
should you enjoy a sweet smelling breeze at my expense? You said I was
your angel and yet you gave me up. I can't fathom why you would- with
all the verbal offerings you laid at my feet you should've never let
me go. So I have to think that maybe you were lying and you didn't
mean a single word. I can always tell when you're lying though, so
maybe you're just stupid. But it's not that easy Mike. I know you're
not stupid, so there's just one last option. You're self destructive.
You know I'm good for you. I make you feel and so you push me away.
I gave you everything and you took it all, just to throw it back in
my face. I want you to remember me as someone who cared for you and
wanted to be there. I am someone who loved you, and I also want you
to remember that you, Mike, and only you, ruined that. Again.
You may not think that what you did was wrong, but it hurt me. I
wish I could say that this is it- that I have no more- that I have
nothing left to give to you. But I do. You hold a place inside me
and I know I will let you hurt me over and over again because that's
what I do. And that's what you do. I love you.
