he looked at me
with shallow eyes
though not so much
of my own
the crooked gathering
of his inquistive smirk
self evident
and unknown
I clenched my fingers
into a ball
of flesh
peered down
at my shoes
and exhaled
he extended his arms
and narrowed
his gaze
as a single tear
shown
we had failed
i spoke of memories
of madness and bliss
tomorrow
and yesterdays plot
but as for the present
and this greatest
mistake -
the mistakes
I have made
are those
I have not

I helped a friend "in need" last night, it felt GREAT! I haven't had someone
call me like that in a long while! Someone who needed someone else, a
shoulder to cry on, a soul to listen, and a love to give. I realized though,
while sitting there in the driver's seat cruising aimlessly around town, as I
listened to him pour out his problems... that I've been neglecting my own.
Because in reality, he and I were in the same position; The crossroads of
life. Where you're on the road to success in school and/or work... you're
getting there, or are there, and are ready for the next endeavor. Keeping
in mind however, that this prior endeavor wasn't really about academics or
pay, because the school/work life is really just a path taken in order to
support the social and personal life we desire. And with regards to this
personal life, at this point you're probably ready and equipped to find
someone in which to enjoy these moments with, long term. So, he told me
about the events leading up to the downfall, his past and present feelings;
he portrayed the pain boiling inside himself, and yet the sense of similar
excitement to explore new and novel paths. To find "somone" that fits.
Because, as he detailed, people grow apart or they realize they don't want
the same things. Because, as he made aparent, people change, situations
change, and sometimes you wake up and wonder what else is out there,
who else is out there. Because, as he sadly spoke, sometimes you come to
the conclusion that what you really need, want, and deserve could be at
your own fingertips, if you merely took the chance, took the time, and
took the energy to seek it. My friend, how proud of you I
am!! Although
saddened and seasoned of anguish and grief, these lonely roads pave the
path to fulfillment. Not because fulfillment requires a love of another, but
because fulfillment requires a love of ourselves. Enough so to take a stand
and say, I want _______, _________, ________, _________... and I'm
prepared to give ________, ________, ________, _________!! And that's
what realtionships are all about right? Give and take. Just as myself, he
wants to settle and stabalize his career, he wants marriage & children, and
he wants to build it all surrounded by family ties. Aspirations of any
average person, with a few personal perks and/or quirks along the way. So,
she didn't work out, my friend. And I'm sorry that you're hurting - all the
while proud that you're strong enough to take such stance. Because
prolonging the inevitable is taking a faulty step into tomorrow and stealing
a chunk right out of life. I silently thank you for bringing your day of
detriment to my door. Just as you appreciate life while upon experience of
death, this eye-opening endeavor reminded me to seek satisfaction.
Knowing that although arduous, I will stop at nothing to achieve my
ultimate goals, and while compromise is an inherent part of life, I will
NEVER compromise my PURPOSE or MYSELF!
