u kno those times when u just need a friend?
no questions...
no talking...
just a familiar shoulder...
someone u miss
someone u love
someone who cares about u.
for u to hear that cliche from them....
that everything's gna be alright...
cuz u kno that's what always gets those waters flowing....
to sum it up, really...
i wish i had someone's shirt to soak right about now....

echo

fuck writing.
every time i put pen to paper i start drawing diagrams...
mapping things out and connecting them together
well there's a lot of connections...
but i'm not typing this shit out to explain those.

i am not capable, not yet at least, to provide or care for...
i don't even know what to fuckin' say right now.

beirut.

i was looking forward to it.
i don't really know what i'll be doing...
work? school? i dno...

whatever it is... i'll be doing it without u...
and that's the worst part of it.

and even if we do meet in beirut... what comes after?
another few months of arguing every weekend?
until xmas comes along...
then arguing every weekend for a few months...

cuz i still can't pull my act together.
and so, admittedly, i hope that one day i can be ready...

i'm in love with you... that's never going to change
it kills knowing i can't be that person for u...

i could keep going but there's no point n e more.
it's all going to come off as contradictions
and nonsense coming from me
cuz i'm not thinking straight
and i don't kno what i want....
yea
i kno
save ur breath...
and ur headache
and ur time
cuz i've wasted it enough...

i'm sorry.
goodnight...

catch my breath

so.
i been tryin to write lately...
but the story has so many layers... so many "meanwhile" moments...
that i end up just drawing giant diagram... and webs... brainstorming the connections between people and events...something i seem to have catalyzed over the holidays.
it's true what i wrote... i did need help...
and i got it
but now i need guidance... and friendship...
from the people i love and care about.
but i guess i need to distance myself and stay alone a little while...
i think i'm tryin to wake too many up.
or tryin to move too fast forward.

each at his own pace, nick... remind urself that.

i and i will carry on...
it is all i can do... and if there is anyone out there who needs closure... just ask...
i'm done chasing.
i'm tired again...
