Dear David - 2005-10-12
They wax philosophical about the people you meet and the people you stop meeting after a while. Life's a train ride and people get on and off, and sometimes they stay for a really long while and you talk to them and you get to know them and there's fun and laughter but then they get off the train again and then that's that. Love's a walk through a desert, and you're searching for the end of it, the rainforest at the end, but on your way there you've gotta stop at oases to take a breather and remind yourself why you keep going. Then there are those mirages that aren't even temporary oases, they're just lies and mockery, and you've gotta learn to get up and shake off the sand and keep going, because if you just keep walking, your feet will get you somewhere in the end. We just hope it's somewhere good and nice. If emotions are a rollercoaster then I guess I've sat one too many because it's taking a lot more to break my heart this time. Or maybe there's just so much Sellotape that you're finding it a bit difficult to get a clean cut. I don't mean to sound bitter, I really don't, and it's not okay if I am, because, well I'm trying to be a better person, and it's a process, and I'm working on it, but sometimes I just feel like I'm on a threadmill and no matter how many steps I take I wind up on the same spot. I want you to be happy. Even if it means those smiles you smile that are like rainbows will never be for me, I want you to be happy, and taken care of, and loved for the rest of your life. I want there to be someone you can count on to hold you up, someone you can trust and love and who will never let you down, not even for a second. I want you to have someone when times are rough, when things aren't going well, when the chips are down and the cliches aren't going away. I want you to have everything you want in a woman that you love, and to be happy, David, be happy. Because it's important that you are.
