MY LAST MANIFESTO TO YOU - 7.21.2003

You\'ll always be there.
That voice in the back of my head, telling me
To fuck \'em all and do my thing
That one voice that made me smile
Even when I felt the world was falling

This is indescribable
Sitting here writing a letter to you
Confessions of imaginary rollercoaster rides
It was such a rollercoaster ride
Watching our similarities play although
You always stepped away somehow

You\'ll always be here.
That rockstar romance that every girl wants
To call her own and call her first
And I know people change but strangely
It feels like it\'s me that\'s devolved in mentality

This is indescribable
Sitting here having a converstation with you
Holding back so many thoughts I could share
So many thoughts I can\'t share
Because we\'ve drifted beyond our bounds
I always closed you off somehow

We still talk enough to know
We\'re still alike in a lot of the same ways
But not often enough to go back to how we were
I know this confession is long and melodramatic
I always was more than I could handle
But you\'ll always be here as a weakness.

That one person I always wanted
The one that I could never have
The one that made me feel unworthy
The one that kept me coming back

It\'s impossible to feel
How I feel right now, lost and unused
The anonymous fangirl who you wooed with
Words of friendship and trust
Well here is my last undying manifesto to you
So soak it up inbetween the lines
Where I so willingly died for you.

==============
I was talking to an old friend today... if you want more info, read my other poem Spooning and Hair Bands ([link]) or listen to any Dashboard Confessional song of choice and really, really listen hard to the music... feel the heartache in it.
It always seems like it's the same old story... girl meets guy... girl and guy become really close friends... girl falls for guy but never tells him until two years later... but then, girl finds out that guy liked girl way back when she first started to like guy... well, okay at least the first 3 steps repeat themselves often in my life. He's still one of my best friends. One of my... two best friends.

Lets just say I miss something i never had despite myself.
But I'm okay. It just stings.

I'm not sure what else there is to say about this...

"But the hours they creep, the patterns repeat, but don't be concerned, you know I'll be fine on my own... I never said don't go... don't go..."

Thats beautiful, and something I know all too well...its like a slap in the face that brings the harsh reality of life into perspective.
