the warmth by incubus.
this reminds me of shaun in our first year together.
summer of 2000.
it reminds me of us driving around in my eagle talon all summer.
us sneaking back into my dads house while he was away for the summer to do whatever we wanted, and of course getting caught.
and staying together at his house while his parents were out of town for a weekend.
and getting caught again.
of going to canada for a week and being the happiest we had been to that point and thereafter.
we have yet to see that kind of happiness again.
this song reminds me of the tire we left on some dirt backroad amongst a bunch of pine trees.
the tire is still there - i checked 6 months ago.
its in the same place.
no one knows its there.
this song reminds me of all kinds of craziness that went on
it reminds me of us merging into one person that would become "us" for the next 3 years.
it reminds me of shaun drumming on my dashboard like nobodys business.
it reminds me of dream by gap because thats what the talon always smelled like - when i smell it to this day i am trasported back to that summer scene by scene all in 18 seconds and then its gone.
it reminds me of blue guess shorts and quicksilver teeshirts from pac sun.
im sitting in shauns room by myself. hes at the bar.
but i said it was okay. and i meant it.
i just feel a bit lonely. but i shouldnt i guess.
im surrounded my mounds of my own clothes, a kitten that might be named daphney, and a pile of quarters for a washer and dryer upstairs that have yet to be filled.
i was going to do the dishes and the laundry but then livejournal, chatting and downloading marilyn manson videos overcame me.
suddenly its midnight and im thinking about that double shot of tequila and wendesday night -- and how im not fully recovered and my body is screaming for rest.
typing takes a minimal amount of energy. so i should be fine.
we hope at least.
ahh.. here comes i miss you and pardon me.
back to shaun and the end of my senior year and then ....
its amazing to me how much i have changed since then. how much he has changed.
how much we have changed.
you cant really sum up a person or a relationship or your entire life for the last 4 years in a live journal entry.
the smells, tastes, feelings, fears, happiness, songs, etc etc.
noone else knows. or will ever know for that matter.
noone will know about the endless hours spent in his room just watching movies and hanging out, the fights over the dumb shit, the times at my house, the first apartment in east lansing and the shit that led to.
but through it all we had each other.
that first night on his bedroom floor watching braveheart and how he touched my face before i left his house.
how he wore that structure tee shirt and scared the shit out of me.
how he filled out the survey that was one of my first emails from him and i printed it off and still have it in the "shaun hearts crystal" box.
i had crying fits that turned to laughing fits where he just held me so i couldnt even fall to my knees. 3 fold utopian dream
you do something to me, that i cant explain.
would i be out of line if i said i miss you?
through his band. my straying. each others friends. wavering feelings. back and forth and up and down.
ive tried to explain the feelings that float out of me and fill his yard, his room, his house. all my territory.
until it burned this past summer. literally. his house caught on fire and its all been redone and i havent seen it since.
everything i remember is gone
the house layout is different
its like all of the memories burned while we did.
i think if i went back there i would cry uncontrollably(sp?)
nothing would be the same and his parents hate me.
hah.
little do they know hes been hanging out with me for over a month.
hah. the devil is back.
but im not really the devil.
or am i?
