Writing the pain

I should never have done it. It should have stayed in the box where it belonged. I took it out and I allowed myself to hope for it, allowed myself to feel it, allowed myself to be consumed by it again. I never should have done it. I don't know why I thought it could be different that I wouldn't be disappointed or hurt but it happens every time and I always say never again. 

I guess I don't deserve it. I've pissed someone off way too many times and they took it away. I must not be able to take care of it or nurture it properly because every time I get bit in the ass. I need to put it back now, just an artifact to keep and look at through glass. 

It felt different this time, more intense, more familiar, more real. I guess that's what happens when it's been away for so long. I'm not strong enough to control it. So, it's better if it goes back to the box were only I can appreciate it from afar. 

Alone. Now and forever, it's a safer place to be.  Alone. It's a familiar place for me. Alone. No more wishing for we.

Just because it didn't work out this time, doesn't mean it never will. Thats part of dating, you haven't found 'the one' yet... thats ok! Keep your head up, you are far too smart, determined and stubborn to give up. You are not one to give up on your dreams, so don't give up on this one!!!
