Array ( [sid] => 138112 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => paradise lost [time] => 2007-10-29 10:34:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => i wanted to sit with a pen and a piece of paper
And write all that i wasn't able to say during all this time
(almost two years)
it is said that i have that "commitment phobia"
or whatever
anyway
i wanted to write
no, i actually wanted to say
but words get lost before they come
i just saw you
through the window of my (few weeks ago i would say 'our') apartment
two years...
good two years
i thought so
but we never agreed on anything, didn't we?
sitting here
by myself
i realized that everythig i have to say
was already said by someone else
and maybe that was the reason why i never said it out loud
because my 'individualism'?
and, besides, why should i say it?
you were the only person who really knew me
and walked away
taking you son with you for the weekends
will see you in few hours
and maybe i'll tell you that yesterday i got a new job
and now my ambition's to become workholic
and that i did something stupid
that made me realize that everything's over
becasue of the words unsaid

We all have problems holding back, and then the other have trouble not holding back. Where is the middle ground?
