LJ Idol Topic 3: Smile

[brand0new0day]

I fell in love with that crooked little grin.

Oh, sure, I fell in love with all kinds of things back then. I was in love with my English teacher because I liked the way his voice rolled around the room and I liked the way his glasses made his face look serious. I was in love with various gay men because they actually took the time to listen to me

So heartfelt and so nicely written. I hope it gets better and better for you as you leave things behind.

*sigh* Me, too. It was just such a weird phase of an already-weird life and it's hard to leave something so altering completely behind. As of right now I'm still allowing myself to cherish the good memories and am actively working to leave the bad ones behind.

Letting go sounds like it would be so easy, so simple, and it's one of the hardest things there is.

This made me think of my Macbeth. My Miles. His name was Scotty, but he definitely had one of those smiles you could remember. =D

I think everyone has a Miles! That furious, usually-unrequited love that you keep forever. Thanks for reading. :)

This relationship obviously left its scars. Sad. Hopefully it was helpful to write it down.

I think every relationship leaves scars, but that's part of the journey. And yes, it actually did help me quite a bit. Thanks. :)

Those loves-that-were-never-meant-to-be....I remember having one of those too...P.

Like I said to a previous commenter, I think everyone has their own story like this, it's just a matter of how far it went.

This must of been so hard but I commend you for sharing it with us.
Excellently written.

It was easier to start than it was to finish, let's put it that way. Thanks for reading. :)
