you said "i love you" and i really believed you.

[sluttering]

all lights are out and all bets are off. we stand in the driveway of my childhood home, your lean lines a sprawling angular darkness against my car, my awkward hands anchored in pockets. i stare up at a face i've known for five years, loved for four, and resented for god-knows-how-many. here we are finally strangers because my tongue has swollen

I've said this before, but I wish I was dating you -

1) because you'd write me this amazing prose.
2) - but more importantly! because I'd be dating YOU

Back off, Tracy. She's been mine for three years now.

(though I suppose now and again some allowances can be made)

Mimi, whenever I read anything you write, I feel tangible, physical sensations. This in particular... November wind, chapped hands, sticky eyelashes and tight cheeks from dried tears. How do you do that?

i need to find our when our anniversary was so that i can retroactively demand n00dz from you as our three year anniversary present. oh well, if mccain wins the election tonight i'm moving in with you in glorious canada.

also, you've pretty much just capped everything i felt that night. i'm pretty sure we've got psychic connections.

daniel would probably trade me for a 12-string guitar, so it is entirely plausible that we could date.

reminds me of my brother and his ex...
