Hunting Her…
I held off on posting this for a several of weeks now. I have seriously messed up. I am posting it now because most people are already aware of what has taken place. I am not trying to justify my actions as there is no justification.
I started this on the 29th. The post was named for a friend, I have now lost. My fault.
Sometimes loneliness gets the best of me. I don’t know what it is, but I feel so empty on days like this when I don’t have much to do. I just start thinking and realize that I don’t have anyone to think about, no one to call my own.
It’s been about a week and a half, lost for words. Reaching far… I am really into her, but who am I kidding? I don’t deserve it. It isn’t real. It will pass. She is young and just discovering things. I don’t want to disrupt her life but I fear I already have. No matter how hard I fight it. I want to be near her. It’s unbelievable but I spend so much time on the phone with her. It hasn’t been long. I am just a fad though, she is with someone and I am just a fleeting moment but still I find myself looking forward to interacting with her.
Someone came out to me. I am not quite sure how to take it. She likes me? I think. I could like her. I mean from what I know, she is like sweet and selfless and intelligent and oh my God is she pretty. I never though she even noticed me. In fact, I thought she was ignoring me purposely. I am truly clueless. I am so excited.
What about the other one? I can’t tell her. She’s going to hate me. Or will she understand? If I give her up, I could be giving up something for nothing. Before Mickey left, she did say not to put all my eggs in one basket. I hate being into someone. I get so scared to give in. I need to work out what I am feeling… before someone gets hurt, then I will be hurt.
Picking up today… I mentioned that I had been writing and that I needed to get my thoughts together and make sure there were no misunderstandings. I didn’t want to put any names out at request.
I thought I had it all figured out. I thought I could save something from both of them, some portion of the relationship or what have you. I thought…
During the last couple of weeks. I was faced with a decision. I needed to choose between someone young, and open and sweet, who I loved hanging out with, who made me smile… The other was a little more established and in line with what I want in my life and I would have had less impact on her life, we could move forward together and I wouldn’t feel like I was leading.
Things were still moving between me and the former but not with the latter. I wavered. The first one was there and when the second didn’t come through I went to the her because she made me feel good, she made me forget for the moment. All the while I was telling her that I was into the second, I never really pulled back and I didn’t realize it until it was too late. I tried to be clear about what I was feeling but my actions told a different story.

wow! this is poignant, and man have i ever been “there”. choices of the heart are very hard when you “need”, ya know? you act out of a lonely greediness, in a sense; knowing what you want, and what’s best, but not being able to let go of the one that just might be the greener pasture. i’m sorry it ended the way it did.
