it's been a long time since i wrote anything about you. in fact, it's been a long time since i thought of you.
people will see this thread, and automatically think i am writing about the person i always write about... but its about you. today, i think of you.
people drift apart, i know this. it's a part of life that no one can control. we packed a lifetime worth of happiness and memories into nearly 3 short years, and left nothing for the rest of the time. these memories haunt me day after day.
he hurt me, as all men in my life have done over the years. my life was in shreds, and i had more drugs going through my body than you could find in a club on one night. hope... i had none. dignity... i had little. and then there was you... you came along.
a simple email... you changed my life. you became my light at the end of the tunnel. you poured happiness and hope into my fragile heart. you held me through some dark lonely nights, even from 300 miles away.
its funny, how the last person in the world that you can think of, becomes your soulmate, in that split second. funny how a stranger can touch your heart so deeply, that it makes everything in your life so profoundly wonderful, for as long as you have it.
i lost a boyfriend or two, and many friends, to my drug-induced life. i always wondered if i would lose you the same way. but then it think, if it weren't for the drugs, if it weren't for bluelight, i wouldn't even have met you. someone else, somewhere in my life, would have been designated my soulmate... but it didnt happen that way. i found you, and i lost you. i know it wasn't to the drugs, because you only made me stronger when it came to that part of my life. but i know that this crazy scene, this crazy wonderful underground life, would somehow end the best parts of my life in misery. and it has.
i had friends who used to always ask my opinion... do i think a long-distance relationship can work? and i would smile and say sure... why not. you can do anything you set your mind to. and a long-distance friendship seems like it would require even less maintenance. but 300 miles... they are the world between me and you, aren't they? you had her and i had him, because that was who was in your world, and he was who was in mine. our paths would cross so very little... and it was always for such a short, disappointing time. was fate trying to tell us something?
i wish only this tonight.... that the last time i saw you, i would have done things different. i'm not talking about the acid... we've already established that eating all that acid was a mistake... but not because of you. 8 hits of acid really makes you see the world different, let me tell you... i saw nothing but colors, i knew nothing but nothing, i couldnt say anything... except your name. why? why, in the midst of all my confusion, was the only feasible thought in my head, of you? but getting back to what i was saying... i would have done things different.
and afterwards... i would have left it go at "Things don't always go as planned." i wouldn't have went on to tell you of my plans, and of my hurt and disappointment.
*sigh*
and now here we are. we barely talk anymore. those hundreds and hundreds of emails... they are lost words. words forgotten. i will never hear your voice on the phone late at night. see you? i doubted. oh wait... someday, you will become the big-name dj that you always hoped you would be. and i will be at the front of the crowd, cheering your name, with all your adoring fans. you will look up and see me, but i will be just another face in the crowd. your pride, your ego, will undoubtedly cloud your vision. maybe it has already.
i think of you tonight. my life is so... wrong, right now. i feel like i have nothing, and have no one. my heart is heavy with a sadness that i can't seem to shake. nothing anyone says, no matter how sweet, or strong, or inspirational, can erase the pain i feel day in and day out. i only wish you could work your magic again. but you and i... we dont even belong in the same sentence anymore.
was it really so bad what i said to you once upon a time...? was it so bad that i drove 11 hours out of my way to try to see you, only to stand forlornly at a payphone in some strange city to hear you say you were busy? i was so lost that night... yes, lost in a strange city with no sense of direction, but lost... in my life. not knowing which direction to head in... towards you or away from you. towards him or away from him. backwards or forwards. i'm always lost.
i wonder what you're doing right now. i wonder if you ever think of me... i think of you tonight. that last time that i poured my heart out, you simply replied with a vague "i'm here if you need me." are you so blind? i've needed you... for awhile. just to be my friend again, my soulmate. is that so much to ask?
i'm thinking of you.

"November is all I know."
 
after some digging through old posts, this is the poem that i wrote after that pointless trip to see him...
All for Nothing
For months i planned it,
Moment by moment --
Where we would meet...
What I would wear...
What i would say...
But then I was reminded that
the best moments in life,
are neither planned nor scripted.
And so i came here on a whim,
Not knowing where i'd end up,
or how i would approach you.
Eight hours of driving,
of getting lost and then more lost
Gave me time to think
what it would be like.
To picture the expression on your face
when you saw me standing there.
But now, sitting here in this cold hotel room,
all alone,
I'm reminded that things dont always go as you plan them.
Sometimes you go with high expectations, only to be disappointed.
Sometimes you drive all day,
exhausted and anxious,
and you do not get what you came for.
Sometimes you pick up the payphone and dial,
Not knowing what you're going to say,
Or even if you'll have the guts to say it
without slamming down the receiver at "hello."
Big city, with your bright lights and mysteriousness,
You have nothing but heartache to offer me tonight.
Tonight, I go alone to that coffee shop...
The one in your poem, perhaps.
I sit down at a table by the window,
And watch an elderly man and woman
walk hand in hand down the street.
Envious of the bond they share,
Admiring how carefully he steers her around
a puddle on the ground.
The way he turns to look at her,
Maybe in such a way that he looked at her
50 years ago when he won her heart...
I get caught up in wondering how they met,
Forgetting for a moment my own reasons for coming here
I'm brought back to reality by a tap on the shoulder
A friendly waitress, not much older than myself,
Gives me a sympathetic smile as if to say,
"He's not coming."
But instead she just tells me that the coffee shop is closing for the night.
I pay for my coffee and walk back into the night alone.
With a sigh, I glance once more in the direction of your house,
just streets away
A house that i passed just hours ago but didnt have the courage to stop at.
And a good thing too,
Because what does one say,
Showing up on someone's doorstep at this hour?
What laughable sentence does one first utter,
To explain the reasoning behind driving hundreds of miles out of the way,
On a Thursday --
To merely say hello?
Just to see that someone for so much as a moment,
Would make all those hours worth it a hundred times over.
But tonight, its no different than any other night
Even in the same city, in the same state,
Under the same endless stars...
We are still separated,
This time not just geographically.
And I begin to wonder,
Will i always feel this way?
I fall asleep,
in the cold lonely hotel,
and think of the old man and woman,
Saying goodnight to each other,
Not knowing if they will each wake to see another day,
But in their hearts knowing it doesnt matter
For what they have will last forever.
I think of you, wherever you are tonight,
And you dont feel any closer.
And tomorrow, you will be even further away.
I hug my pillow and say goodnight to this beautiful city,
With its yellowing dismal lights, and melancholy stillness...
Tomorrow you will have forgotten me

this ended differently when i first wrote it, but only one person now holds that original copy. i obviously didnt save it like i thought i did.
