We’re sitting at a restaurant table, mere arm’s length away from each other, and yet I still feel fairly distant. I can’t bring myself to look at you directly, my eyes are swimming with secrets.

I don't know how much it's really worth, but I'm sorry for the intrusions, Chris (and others).

But when a relationship "goes on the rocks...
...the rocks are there, right there."

I don't feel neglected, and I shouldn't - especially now that you've replied. I'm used to feeling regret for all these things that I have fucked-up in my relationship, I'm used to seeing all the things I should be and am sorry for, and I know I'm inexperienced in all human relations... I am entirely sorry for the ego-mania I live in from time to time. It's such frustratingly Hamlet-like behavior like that of the deleted posts (and my contact with Elle) that I want to get away from.
All in all, I think I can identify with some of crises you experience... we probably all do.
Have you read Hamlet or Goethe's Faust? I'm feeling like they (or perhaps cliffnotes, as I'm a slacker) would be insightful for me now.

it's so hard commenting these day. they're like a commitment that i keep going out of my way to avoid, but i just can't bring myself to do so. but, again, it's no problem. you can cry on my shoulder. i don't care. we all go through these things. we just need to help each other through it all the best we can.
i've read hamlet years ago. i thought the ending was rather bleak. the lion king was so much better.... when they completely stole the concept of hamlet.
i've never read faust, though.
