Feelings feel so far away. Everything feels so distant, and muted, until I’m sitting around a table with my friends, making them howl with laughter, and for a brief moment everything feels okay. Feelings are so muted, until I hear him hum to himself late at night. Is that mere friendship?
The man I claim to love is a distant memory. He has been inaccessible to me longer than I have known him. I write him letters to tell him I adore him, and I wait, and I wait, and I wait for the chance to see him again, make myself rekindle a fire that is nearly out.
Men are so scary, and I only trust two of them, one of whom is gone.
I trusted a stuttering kid for a little while, until I learned more about him. I feel hurt, I feel betrayed, I feel as though I cannot trust any new guy. I can trust them in groups, and that is all. Except for my two boys.
I’d trust my little drummer boy with my life.
