Dear Old Love

Now You Know

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:47:49 -0500

Remember how you didn’t return my feelings? She’s you, you’re me. At least now you know how it feels.

Hair Me Out

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:32:48 -0500

You liked how I cut your hair, while you loved nothing more than wrapping mine around your fingers.

Tears of a Mom

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:17:50 -0500

Today I watched my mother cry over how badly you hurt me. Now I can hate you.

Snowed In

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:02:08 -0500

We walked around for hours during that historic snow day when I knew I loved you but couldn’t say it.

The Love Defense

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:35:11 -0500

It’s not trashy when you’re in love.

Dwelling in Possibility

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:35:01 -0500

I fell so in love with your potential that I couldn’t see that you would never live up to it.

Negotiating Fog

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:34:46 -0500

Li-Young Lee is right: I moved thousands of miles away only to continue looking for you around every corner, hungry for some trace of you.

It's the Cuteness, Idiot

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:34:40 -0500

You were an idiot, but cute.

Beautiful Music Together

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:43:28 -0500

Wish I’d been your guitar, instead of your girl.

Wild Thing

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:37:58 -0500

I wonder who went to see Where the Wild Things Are with you. I hope you went by yourself.

Lyrically Speaking

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:47:49 -0500

I wish I were still in Cher’s “Strong Enough” phase of our breakup, and not onto Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” one.

Down and Hurting

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:32:49 -0500

You let me down, you hurt me.

My Kingdom for a Boot

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:17:49 -0500

I gave you food to eat, a bed to sleep in, a body to hold, and a heart to carry. You gave me the boot.

The Flirty Yes's Have It

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:02:07 -0500

When I asked you if you liked me, you said, “I enjoy our time.” All I wanted was a flirty yes.

Rolling, Rolling

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:48:39 -0500

I miss rolling around in bed with you for hours. And you tickling me. I wish I could go back.

No Sleep Til

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:47:04 -0500

I dream of you nightly. I think I’ll stop with the sleeping pills; insomnia is preferable.

Quiet Comfort

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:21:11 -0500

Ours was not the longest relationship I’ve ever had, or most intense, or purest, or even the most passionate, but there was something in the quiet comfort I felt around you.

Exemplary

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:47:49 -0500

I use you as an example of who not to date.

Not Teaching for America

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:32:48 -0500

Teach for America’s rejection didn’t hurt as much as yours did.

Visual Cue

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:17:49 -0500

If we ever see each other again, maybe this time I’ll know you want to kiss me when you look at me like that.
