Hell, I even lie to myself. I pretend that I don't love him. I pretend that I don't need him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;It's weird. I'm always thinking about how much it hurts to know that I can't have him, but that's only when he's not around. He shows up and...I forget. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I forget that I'm supposed to keep my guard up; I &lt;em&gt;really &lt;/em&gt;don't want to fall. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I forget that I'm NEVER going to get the chance to be with him, trust me, it can't happen. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I don't want to need you, 'cause I can't have you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Then he leaves and I remember again. And I continue to pretend. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I pretend I'm okay when he's asks me if I am. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I pretend that he's not on my mind when he asks what I'm thinking about. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I try to ignore the fact that he confuses me beyond belief. It's as if I know he's asking for something, but he also knows...there's never going to be a ME AND HIM TOGETHER. Just a ME, and just a HIM. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I wonder if he thinks about the possibility of an us. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I wonder if he ever thinks it should have been me, not her. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I know I shouldn't think about him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I know I won't be able to not think about him. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Everyday I pretend. Hell, I even lie to myself. I pretend that I understand that I will never need him, because if we were truly meant to be, things would work out. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I pretend that I believe that he's not the one that will rescue me from my dreams, and that one day I will find someone who is just perfect and won't hurt me. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;It's hard though. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;But I pretend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3265765748526989360-7299913885775544090?l=dangerously-safe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3265765748526989360/posts/default/7299913885775544090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3265765748526989360/posts/default/7299913885775544090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dangerously-safe.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-pretend.html' title='I Pretend'/><author><name>Meaningful Nonsense</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265765748526989360.post-6151386164500708726</id><published>2009-04-21T19:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T20:09:39.071-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Drowning in Air</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="georgia"&gt;I used to write.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Writing gave me the escape I needed from reality, even if it was just for a few moments. I would dream (and daydream) about what I would write, and it would take away much stress. I gave up. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I never really thought I would. I used to post my "writings" on sites, and I would have people comment/email/basically talk to me about the things I wrote. It became too much of a commitment for me. I loved it, but I couldn't find the time to actually post my stuff, and when I DID have the time, I didn't feel much like posting. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sort of made me realize that I don't really know what I want. I'm trying to find out, but half the stuff I tell myself is a lie. Grr.

Well, for the time being anyway. You know what I hate? Having something on your mind and not being able to get it out. I have a lot to think about, and I don't say much. I am ambiguous when it comes to me...I'm not easy to read. I can't talk to my friends. Well, I can, but I choose not to. I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself. Or anonymous, hence this blog. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In any case, this was just a starter...things should begin to blow up pretty soon (not literally). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3265765748526989360-1560443266876940288?l=dangerously-safe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3265765748526989360/posts/default/1560443266876940288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3265765748526989360/posts/default/1560443266876940288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dangerously-safe.blogspot.com/2009/04/controlled-chaos.html' title='Controlled Chaos'/><author><name>Meaningful Nonsense</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
