I told you how I felt in the simplest of terms. No flowery poetry. No big words to stumble over. Blunt and true. You looked me in the eyes, covered my mouth and told me; "Sometimes you don't need words." I looked at you a little puzzled and almost offended I looked away. You told me I say one thing and then my actions completely defy my words. It didn't hit me just then, but you were reciting part of my letter. When you were drinking that strawberry and banana smoothie and you asked me; "It's a little ironic that I'm drinking this, huh?" I thought you were just playing with me. When I told you I hated that I couldn't read you, or know what you were thinking. And you told me all I had to do is ask. I replied; "I don't want to hear it, I already know, and it would hurt too bad to hear you say how you feel, when I feel how I do." You asked me how you felt and I said I didn't want to say. You just told me to ask...so I did. What came out of your mouth hit me like a ton of bricks and direct slap in the face. You feel for me as I feel for you, and at this point in time were a day late and a dollar short. My mind is running circles looking for some glimpse of hope, that maybe just maybe you'll take your own advice and play it day to day. |
