dreaming of you


oh man... I'm really into you.

you're like a dream I wake to, only you aren't here. It's as though you are a reverie that I cannot shake. Are you real? Were you ever?

I brought my computer in to be fixed - I dropped it off of my loft. It was a little Hispanic place at myrtle and Broadway, and the guy gave me a good price. I lost everything. He couldn't save my computer and had to format it. I lost the second book I wrote, a half dozen short stories, and everything I had done for almost the last two years.

the most devastating loss was losing every photo I had of you. All of Chicago, all of New York. Gone. I am beyond heartbroken.

the universe tends to unfold the way it should. Maybe it's fitting, maybe it makes sense that I have nothing left of you other than my memories, my dreams.

do you know I still dream of you when I sleep. I still wake with your scent in my nostrils. I still cannot let my mind wander as I know inevitably it will wander to you.

I'm so hopeless without you. I wish you had taught me how to forget you.

giving meaning to songs in my head...



when I was 18, sitting in a dorm room somewhere in Michigan I fell in love with two love songs. Somehow I was convinced that they would be songs that define true love for me. I had never really understood the words as they related to my life.

this morning you gave them meaning...

28 days



the saying goes that it takes 28 days to form a new habit. I wish you were something i could simply form a habit to stop needing.

you're always in my thoughts and heart beats Bonita.
