Torn Between Pity and Envy (I am)

There is a new face around.
And suddenly you can't look away. (it's rude to stare)
And suddenly you can't stop talking.
And suddenly you can't keep your hands off of them.
Suddenly. It's perfect. Too perfect. Too much energy. Atomic bomb-like. Anti-matter-like.

The years have past. So fast. They light bolted away. Slipping through your fingers.
Six, maybe seven, of them.
And the physical distance has grown.
Countries and continents away.

Your eyes meet.
And suddenly you're 16 again.
Suddenly you cannot verbalize a no.
Suddenly, it is all too perfect again. Suddenly the world slows down. (if it doesn't stop, alltogether...you can't really tell)

Suddenly it is over again.
Suddenly your gaze is broken(your eyes no longer in sight)
Suddenly your heart breaks (not completely, you're used to it)
And suddenly you (all of you) are out of sight.

This about a friend, a couple of friends actually. But one of them really is special to me. He is. Very. This is about their bond, how the other person is there in spirit, but not body, always. Always. But they can never be together. The energy and chemistry is too much for anyone to take. Trust me, it's dangerous.

 

Sometimes, I scare myself. With my need and desire to break away, to break free...to just have no strngs attached and no responsibilities. There is that free spirit caged within me. Confined to the boundaries of my life.
It yearns to fly.

wow.
so so beautiful and true.
we all will always have some degree of the calling to be wild and free.
don't put it on the shelf for too long, otherwise it'll free itself.
lovely post.

A dear friend of mine has a theory -- that everything in life is a question of effort vs. comfort. Meaning that people will always seek to have the greatest amount of comfort possible at the expense of the least amount of effort. If things are balanced, or if there is more comfort than effort, then people will always stay where they are, and be...if not happy, then content enough. But the _instant_ that effort exceeds comfort...we will seek change. The exact moment.

It is something to think about.

Much love to you, dearest...

very beautifully written. sometimes eventhough there is great chemistry between two people, they just can't be together. life is weird like that I guess. and dont worry, I think that deep down everyone just wants to be free, even me!
