I bask in the memory of those orange afternoons when the tires run smoothly on a sun-kissed asphalt. My heart just stared blankly at everything, unabashed, silent and roaring.

Hooked up

December 2, 2007

On you. You lucky, clueless person. 

Finally, I've come to my solid senses to wake up from this mad mad daydream. Where you and I choke each other with our seemingly spontaneous exchanges. Fired up on shuffling vent after vent. You delight where I simper. I tear apart where you cut dead. From me. In any way.

This is not right. I never tear apart. From anyone. In any way. 

What's sad is that I am swimming over unrequited waters. There's no I where you are wanting. Between us, there's not even a long shot, or any sorts of shot for that matter. There's only you and the rest of your world. Then I will have to be on some unnamed planet, breathless and fluttering.

My resolve is that this fixation over you is a cracked up delusion (I caught somewhere between our odd etceteras) that's going to end up tormenting. I have to wake up from this. From you. In any way. 

I cannot throb for you anymore. There can't be you where I am longing. Because no one should love in vain.

And of course, I don't hate you. I could never hate you. What we share is one of the beautiful things I rarely  bump into in this jagged-haired life. You didn't do anything wrong.

I'm just saying I need one good slap in the face for getting genuinely hooked up. On you.
