Heartburn is robbing me of sleep again, chewed the pills but it won't go away. Probably more than that, restless brain syndrome?
Far away friend was having a bad time. No job, a cold room, and nothing for her birthday. Sent cash,a warm hoodie, and 1905 original pressing of Dr.Jeckyl and Mr.Hyde I picked up in a small dark bookstore in Boston years ago. Glad I could give her a good day for a change. When friends suffer, I suffer with them.
Wanted to pursue a relationship with someone, but can't. It's the first person in a long while that I've been interested in, and therein lies the tragedy of it all. She's the friend of a really good friend of mine, one that has basically helped me through the last couple years. Kept me from sinking, and was the only person to not turn their back on me when I needed help. This is her only female friend, she's always had bad luck with female friends but this one is a good one. She asked me not to date her, it could complicate things. I don't really have a choice but to honor that. I could be a douchebag and ignore it, or sneak around, but I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror. Only one option, drop it and move on. We go to dinner together, and I fix her car when she needs it, just need to keep things at arms legnth.
Heartburn gone finally, goodnight.
