Numb

Taken that day.
You’ve rubbed my feelings raw, you assholes.

When I am alone at home, I’m… different. I’m more pessimistic. Maybe the silence gives me time to think about that. The numbness has gone away, but it’s now replaced by a mute fury.

Anyway, I can’t seem to piece my thoughts today. So as a filler post, I’m posting this here. I wrote it several days ago and posted in on Multiply.

I can’t seem to fall asleep. Neither can I fully surrender my attention to the aesthetically challenged Simpsons.

My mind continues to be busy. I need to write. And right now, it doesn’t matter if my grammar is wrong or my vocabulary is mediocre. I just need to write. As long as words are typed and emotions are strung into phrases, I am content.

The boyfriend is outstation. I can at least, very shyly say that I miss him and due to the circumstances, actually need him to be here with me. But he isn’t and I suppose I can live with that. Though soon, the distance will be greater and the need will be stronger. Sometimes I wonder if it was wise of us to start when we could already see the climax but I have yet to think into it too deeply. Sometimes ignorance is bliss and I think that somewhat applies here. At least, for today.

I honestly am skeptical whether he will like the idea of me writing my feelings for him here. But today, the feelings flow and I can’t help but write them down.

He’s always been there, I’ve always noticed him, just never thought of him in that way. I don’t remember the exact period we became closer, but it must have been that time he opened up to me about his life.

It’s ironic how a little honesty goes a long way… when someone tells you an important moment of his life, you start to think… if he trust me on this, maybe I can too. And the cycle continues…

Not long after, I began to know him.

When best of friends become lovers, there are always hesitations. And I had a lot. There were a lot of what ifs and each was as dreadful as the previous. Yet, slowly after the confession, I began to take notice, really notice.

I began to feel jealousy at the mention of other girls.
I began to look away when I saw him glance a little too longingly at someone else.
I began to think of him in that way.

Let’s not play the If game.

And here we are, still tentative, still careful, but very very comfortable. Oh, and in love.
