I've tried to say it a thousand different ways. I've tried twisting the words inside out and doubling them back over onto themselves. I've tried coming up with words in different languages, because maybe they have words for this thing (I couldn't say what it is) that we're missing in this one. I've tried saying the same words over and over again in hopes that this time they'll mean what I want them to mean. I've tried writing it down and spelling it out and stressing each syllable across intercontinental static. I've filled up pages and pages of paper with what I'm trying to say, but never with what I mean to say.
Maybe it annoyed you in the end. Maybe I should just stop.

ReplyDeleteno matter how you feel, you're not alone in how you're feeling. there is someone for you, right for you, who will know the words you're speaking and who will speak them back to you. give it time.
this is a good one loren.

it's like meaning one thing and eventually be construed as something else in the end, because at times we're lost for words.
ReplyDeletehow can two people hear the exact same words uttered differently? i wonder. .
But can't you see that I love you? That the reason you can't find what to say isn't because there are no words to fit your emotion. Or that the way you say them isn't correct.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's the meaning behind them. The great emotions that you feel, here and now. They've always been there. Maybe I was just too blind, too alone to even bother to read you. You can't find the words because the feeling is written across your face, your heart. And I was just to naive to even bother to read what they were saying.
I love you. Forgive me.
Wonderful! I really like it.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, as I said before. You're so cool...I'm glad you're one of my bestest friends :)

I read this at first without realizing what day it had been posted on and I loved it. It describes my feelings right now perfectly. And then I looked at the date. It was my birthday. I almost cried... it felt like some sort of sign.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog so much. I read it all the time and I can relate closely to every post. I just want to thank you for your beautiful writing, it's helped me sort through my emotions more than I could ever give you proper gratitude for. All I can ask is that you never stop :)
never stop :)
ReplyDeleteYes. Simply, I love you and I want you to love me too.
