Senses.
Imagine it, a Tuesday without dreadlocks, without all the black clothing, and without her glasses, for she was wearing contacts at the time.

Tuesday moved around a lot as a child, and before she moved to the east coast, she had lived in Hawaii for two years.

And now I would like you to think of a nicer Tuesday, one who didn’t keep to herself. One that was liked, not disliked, for the most part. A truly sociable girl.

We were both 13 when I had came to Hawaii, and he was my first friend. Simon, a boy I had always thought looked like an angel, with his light, almost white blonde hair and sparkling gray eyes. I don’t know how he did it, but even by living in Hawaii, he never had much of a tan. I knew the boy was gay, he had told me shortly after we became friends, but I didn’t care.

Right from the start, on our first walk down the beach, we had bonded. Just…talking, and being in each other’s company. Hearing. There was a moment that day where we stopped talking, sat down, and looked deeply into each other’s eyes, not saying a word. Just…exploring the other person through sight.

He always smelled of strawberries and coconut.

Later on, almost a year after, we finally learned about each other through another sense- touch. I remember being in his arms, dancing, twirling, embracing. A true friend was he, and I to him. I didn’t want to let him go, and nuzzled myself closer to him.

I realized that I loved him that night.

I longed to be with him in a deeper relationship then just as friends, best friends, true friends. /Only/ friends? Oh no. It wasn’t even much of a sexual feeling towards him; I cared about him deeply, and wanted those loving thoughts to come out. I wanted to taste his own thoughts.

But our days were coming to a close. My family announced we were moving to the east coast soon. I cried, long, and hard, into the arms of Simon. I couldn’t leave him.

On my last day, I resolved to finally get that taste. Just about to go into the plane, I stood up on my toes, and kissed him. He brought me closer, and whispered to me that he would miss me, so very much. I told him I loved him. He squeezed me, but said nothing else.

It took me ages to recover from my feelings towards him. I knew I had to give him up, and I would probably never speak to him again.

I never could fully stop loving him.

If only it were so. Some days it's hard to love when loving is wrong, and when the very sight of your person causes others to bend away from you. I love you, my darling, but I will have to go away.

Eeeep, not what I was expecting...

Not in the literal sense, please. I can't take it in the literal sense, where everything is real. I can't take the reality in real life where everything isn't sheltered. I'd break. Snap. Wouldn't be able to deal with anything. Nothing... because it has no point when there's no one to share it with.

Share /what/ with, exactly? Fantasies? Made-out realities that we can only stow away to within words and pictures, hiding from what is real? I can't... I want to love you, Danielle, but I can't /do/ that, not even platonically. In real life... We share awkward moments, laughs only when aided by other friends. It doesn't really work.

Jesus Christ.

Awkward? Of course, of course, the car ride. Right, I know. Partly, it’s because of my dad being there. I can’t talk freely with him there. Partly because of the dance. Understandable. Excuses…excuses, aren’t needed now.

So you’re saying it’s impossible for us to get along when we’re alone? Without things we’ve created this year? It’s easy, once given the chance. Right, I don’t know what I’m talking about anymore. I keep changing my mind on how to word things…

Right, taking a stab at it- because we know too much? Because we don’t /talk/ openly verbally?

I don’t know.

There’s a lot I need to say…

I don't know how to phrase it, either. I don't know, the car ride wasn't bad; so long as I forgot that you were there, stopped feeling your body warmth, I could use the time to gaze out the window and get my thoughts in order. No, like with my mom, or with the beading. What the ******** was with that, anyway? Am I so socially retarded I can't even come up with conversation when I'm alone with you? And I don't know, I keep losing sleep over you, imagining you can change when you cannot. I thought I was beyond this. What the hell is the matter with me?

I tuned it all out, but I can’t escape my own thoughts.
It’s bad that I was racking my brain for something to say then. It’s not right that I can’t easily say something random and somehow have it spark something, such as with Lexie. (Then again, that’s just her, and odd things remind her of other stuff…meh.)
I dunno, it’s weird. I feel different around you. It doesn’t even have to do with all of /that/. I’m not even sure what it is that changes me, and turns me away, making me silent.
I’ve had dreams where I /did/ change. I remember one where both you and Danny were there, and know who I chose? You. And I’m the straight one. -.- I would change. Hell, I /want/ to change.

And that's just what makes it hurt so much. See, if you had just turned me away, I wouldn't have any of this... /hope/. It's ridiculous and it should be gone by now, but I just can't... make it. I don't deserve you, not even as a friend. I wish there was some way we could just make this work. I don't understand why I can never talk when I'm with you, either. With Lexie or Anissa or practically anyone else, I can at the very least banter my way into some semblance of a conversation. With you... It's just like I'm waiting for something. Like if I sit there long enough, something will break and we'll be able to talk freely.

But I can’t turn you away, the thought is far too cold, in a land I don’t want to venture into. I’m sick of loss. I can’t lose you too. I’ve thought about it happening many times, and it frightens me.
Why does this happen? It just…does, and I don’t know why and it’s distressing me greatly. ><

(I need to get off soon. 00)

Soon being now.

I'm sorry. I would stay up all night if I could. But I can't get caught on here. 00

I'm going to act like I normally do tomorrow. Like usual, when these things happen. I may be a bit more quiet, but who could blame me, it'll take all I have to fight tears.

Aaah, I never read your last message. That must one reason why it felt so weird today... I dunno, I came back to check at 11:35, and it wasn't up there, only your second-to-last, and I had figured that you had left. I feel really bad now...

Eh, it's okay, I sort of realized that you didn't read it during english.

I have a very silly request to make of you, but it's rather important to me non-the-less: Could you, please, just tell me very clearly that it's never going to happen? That's all I've wanted since I first told you, but all you've been is sympathetic. For once, just tell me what is unpleasant so the hope will be gone and I can start to move on. Thanks...

Interesting how I didn't post the request in here.
I remember thinking it would be too permanent and that I wouldn't be able to go back on it.
I'm so smart. x)
