Feelings sometimes come and go. They shrink back so suddenly and then
emerge at the strangest of times and I'm never sure if the particular
feeling is a reaction to this situation or a remnant of something once
ignored. I ignore a lot of things, mostly things which are unable to
fit into whatever momentary paradigm I am entertaining.
We sat naked on the floor, rocking back in forth I think. Or maybe
that was the intoxication. Our legs were wrapped around each other and
sentences starting with I am sorry drunkenly spilled out of our
mouths as we hugged and tried not to cry. She looked very pretty.
Most times people come into our lives and then leave. But certain
times people linger in our hearts and souls and they live on, stuck in
our brains living the life we think they should and when they step
from our minds to space before us it can be surprising. There are
certain people in my life that I never thought I'd speak to again.
People whose imaginary lives I never thought I'd have to reconcile
with reality.
And there I was on her doorstep. When I talk to him, I always ask
about you, you know. She told me she didn't care about him and I
wasn't sure if I believed her.

That is freaky, I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
As far as I know, it is original stream-of-conciousness about seeing my best friend for the first time in a few years. But I have been wrong many times before.
I have to take back my comment from last night. It's really good. The imaginary lives bit threw me for a second but geez, I kinda wish I had the excitement in your life.
Great post.
