SIX (YOU CAN TURN THIS UMBRELLA UPSIDE DOWN, BUT YOU'LL GET WET)

Jul 07, 2004 01:30

I woke up today after only four hours of sleep and I felt refreshed. Exhilerated. The night before I had not slept at all. I worked this whole week, of course.

I'm happy. That's all there is to it. I don't need sleep sometimes. Sometimes maybe I do. But when I'm talking to Britt I'm just not tired. Not at all. I can talk to her all night and then have enough energy to call her at 5 in the morning and talk for another 5 hours. There's something not right about that. Love doesn't make you into a superhero. Maybe love just makes you forget all else. It makes you get lost in the moment, like I was.

There are so many things I told her that I would not have had the nerve to tell other people...no matter how highly I trusted them. I wish I kept the excerpt. It was a beautiful excerpt. It told of barefeet and dendelions. Children laughing. The sun was in the sky. Down the street there was the noise of cheesy music. I was the only one there. Alive alone, it seemed.

But who the fuck needs anyone else?
