The Story of You and Me (JRT)

by sinister   Oct 17, 2005


Sorry it\'s so long. Don\'t think this is even a poem but it tells a story.

I did not miss understand
We were leaving the realm of friends
And entering to something else
I was told you sounded confused
And I think you were

The first night we met you told me there was another
In Scotland for two years
Back home for a month
Then gone again for another two
With permanent migration being a possibility

At the end of the first phone conversation
You said call you back again
So we decided to take things as it goes
And just tell the relationship flow
On your return from Tobago
You said you wanted to immediately call
But didn\'t want to appear desperate

We began to talk every day
And you would call even more than I would
And when I didn\'t call
You\'d message me \"why aren\'t you bugging me\"
Telling me things like you can get me of your mind
And playfully say \"get out\" and \"can\'t stop thinking about you\"

Then the day came when I visited you
To cheer you up, but things didn\'t go as planed
Then you called and asked \"Do you like me\"
Why would you ask that
But I answered and asked the same question of you
And you answered
Things like that dictates the starting of something new

Every weekend we would go out
Every day talk to one another
And the conversations would go on
With sweet and gentle whispers
And your talk of how much \"love and attention\" you need
Why would you tell me these things
If not as a precursor of things you\'d expected from me

I\'m not crazy
And I didn\'t miss understand
The relationship was taking a new turn
I asked more than once
If you wanted me out of your life
So I wouldn\'t complicate it
And more than once you told me no
So what happened
I couldn\'t have miss understood
Not with the way we were

Not wanting to cause a scene
Or be a bother I walked away
Now I\'m left with these uncertainties
And a pain in my heart
I\'m incomplete with questions
Questions which I\'m afraid will remain unanswered

This happened 3 days ago. If anyone took the time to read this long, drawn
out story of mine can you tell me if I was wrong? Or am I one of those
idiots that can\'t let go (no offense to anyone)
