It's crazy, that's what it is. It's when people he's never met know his life story because you just can't stop talking about him. It's when he's your day, your night, your sunrise, your sunset, the stars and the moon and your favorite stuffed animal, a million things at once. It's warm cookies with cold milk, a cozy couch with a sappy movie you could recite line for line. It's comfortable in its familiarity... yet somehow, there is always something new to discover, like it just keeps getting better. It's that song you memorized and you can't get out of your head because maybe you don't want to. It's your best friend, your mentor, the person you care about so much it hurts. Kicked-in-the-shins hurts and a horror movie you're afraid of but you just can't look away. It's- he's- indescribably amazing, Mary Poppins perfect. He's perfect in his imperfection; every thought is insightful and every bad joke is laugh-till-it-aches funny. It's flying while you're still standing, smiling while you cry. It's working harder than you ever have to be subtle yet subjective, the perfect blend of I'm-so-madly-in-love-with-you and oh-we're-just-friends. It's actually listening to the details, reading between the lines, taking out the garbage before anyone asks you to. It's about finding that connection, that meant-to-be connection, the signs and the similarities and even the differences that make you so... sure. He completes you. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe you'll forget all about him and he'll have no major impact on your life. But you wouldn't bet on it. He's taught you, broken your shell and introduced you to the world. It's about the experiences, the lessons, the moments and the memories and the fact that maybe you actually meant something to someone. Mostly, it's about love. Not fairy tale happily-ever-after love, real good-times-bad-times-today-tomorrow-and-the-rest-of-my-life love, love that you're afraid you'll never feel again because maybe you're not feeling it now. Maybe it's all in your head. But you wouldn't bet on that, either. It's about understanding that some things never change and some do, but that's a part of life you have to be ok with, and that some people are never going to love you and you have to be ok with that, too. It's about the best thing you never had. It's about you. -Jdot |

I always knew that the perfect guy was out there. I've known since I was a kid and Barbie married Ken. Ken might pretend to like Barbie's best friend to make Barbie jealous, and Barbie might move to Portugal just to see if Ken would follow her, but in the end, they were always together and everything was forgiven. The thing is, the game always ended after Barbie and Ken got together, so I never really knew what would happen once I met the guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I figured I'd want the rest of my life to start right away, but I also kind of thought it would be like living in one of those invisible boxes mimes always pretend to be trapped in. People can see you and know some kind of force field surrounds you, but they can't tap into it or break it. Our love would be our mime box. -Jdot |
There must be a million people all over the world who never get any love letters. I could be their leader. -Charlie Brown |
We like the same kind of music. That alone could be the basis for our non-existant relationship, but I guess it doesn't really count because the main reason I like it is because it reminds me of you. And my unrequitted love is, by no means, the basis for a relationship. How about the fact that we both hate your ex? I mean, even though you hate her in the sense that she doesn't love you anymore and I hate her in the sense that she had the gall to love you in the first place, we have that in common. Ok, how about the fact that we were always there for each other? If I had a major English exam worth 90% of my grade the next day and I hadn't started studying, I'd forsake it to hear about your dead goldfish. Seriously. And I'm sure you'd do the same for me... after your soccer game and if there was nothing good on television. I know I don't even come close to Seinfeld reruns, but I bet you'd pick me over Jeopardy, at least. But it's all worth it. I love talking to you... if sometimes it seems that I'm not paying attention, I'm lost in the sound of your voice. If I'm staring off into space, it's because I'm afraid to look in your eyes for fear of melting, right on the spot. I come off as desperate, needy... and it's not like I couldn't live without you, it's just that I wouldn't want to live such an shallow, empty shell of a life. It's funny how I devote so much of my day to thinking about you, wondering if you're smiling and hoping you are. Funny in the sense that tears run down my face and I wonder how many more years until my sentence is complete... how long until I'm free of you? Great, so now you think I'm crazy. But just know that you're the one who drove me to insanity and somehow I love you all the more for it. -Jdot |
