Okay, so I guess I haven't been keeping you all up to date. For this I apologize. At times I feel so out of touch living here in Chicago.

And hotdog, what if my fingers type it all out and it's completely a wreck 'cause something got lost between my brain and my fingers? And then there's the emotion factor. What happens if the words that come from my heart don't mix with the words ( Read more... )

I hate waking up in the morning to an empty bed. She asked me yesterday if I really did "feel her" in response to the phrase "i feel ya". I so just wanted to say that I feel her every morning when I realize she isn't next to me. As I wipe the sleep away from my eyes reality sets in more and more everyday. The reality of a lonely life.
