Have you ever wondered how long you could sit and just look at an empty text box, wanting to type, but not knowing what you want to say. . . . or rather, you have so much to say that you don't know where to start? I've been sitting here for a little over an hour, and I'm still not exactly sure what to type. I feel an emptiness within me . . . I hate when I can't shake this feeling, and I was fine last night until I turned on my AIM as I've gotten in the habit of doing. . . a void. Sometimes I don't even open my AIM when it connects . . . you know? . . . I just kinda leave it sitting in the tray, with the rest of the little Icons. With one look, the hole I worked so hard to fill . . . That's how I should have left it last night. Lay before me, gaping, black, hungry. . . If I would have left it closed, I never would have seen that he was online, and I wouldn't have been thrown back to the base of the mountain. . . . and empty once again. Memories tumble down like boulders on top of me, making the climb back up to where I was even harder. All at once my courage and strength drain from my body, into the dark canyon, I double clicked his name, but like this morning here, I couldn't type anything at first. I just sat there, staring at the empty white box, not knowing how to start, or if he'd even respond. Leaving me frail, weak, afraid. I knew that he wouldn't answer me if I were to just say hello. That single word has always been followed by that horrid doorslam sound when people on AIM go offline. I'd create a lake of tears, but I cannot cry So in the end, I decide the best shot at getting a response would be to message him with a statement: "Richardson wants to get ahold of you" My tears for him ran dry long ago That decision turned out to be a good one, as far as things to say are concerned . . . because he did respond . . of course, it had nothing to do with me . . . he just asked for Ricky's email address. I of course sent it, and then I also sent a second message, asking how he had been The healing reversed. Scars turning to wounds . . . Moments later, that old familiar doorslam sound again, and he was gone with out a word. Wounds that weep for the eyes that can't I don't think it was a good night for me to be alone. It left me to think too much. They weep tears of a long ago pain, burried deep within And thinking brought back all those memories, and the feelings . . . mostly the hurt that our distance had caused me With renewed strength, they wash over me I realized nothing had really changed . . . aparently he still didn't want to talk to me drenching me, weighing me down that realization was probably the worst thing for me . . . after all, he was a friend for 10 years. Weak and unable to stand, I fall. ~*~*~*~*~ Hollie 030701 ~*~*~*~*~ A note to a true friend: Thank you for being there with me last night. I was afraid, and even though you weren't physically here, your words and your thoughts were. You were a light in the dark, a strength for me to hold on to when I needed it most, and for that, I can't thank you enough. I miss you and I'll talk to you again tonight. Until then, (signed) Your Dark Beauty 0 comments so far
