Just Because

I've been there, done that.

I'd add to the list the following types:

Separated men who find countless excuses not to get a divorce;
Men who don't introduce you to his family;
The ones who flirt with other women in front of you;
The losers who stare at any other attractive women in front of you, while you watch him drooling over her/them;
Men who cannot turn off their cellphones;
The one who doesn't have money at all and even borrows money from you, needless to say that he doesn't pay you back or takes forever to do so;
The asshole who wants you to quit your job and move in with him because he thinks you're for sale;
The cheap ones;
The liars who call you crazy or insecure;
The ones who have been married to or like women that look like they've been created in a botox factory and everything in them is fake, but now he decides to go out with you who has no interest in plastic surgery, botox, or permanently straightening your hair or getting a boob job;
The jealous type who checks everybody out and even encourages other men to hit on you so he can feel proud of himself;
Men who are addicted/interested to pornography or drugs;
The compulsive liar;
The man who doesn't care when you're sick;
The not so considerate type;
The one who gives you instructions on what to do in bed or how to cut the vegetables when you're cooking;
The man who criticizes you in public or makes you feel like a second class citizen;
Guys who want to know every single detail from your sexual life before you've met him and I don't mean health wise;
The guy who doesn't like you without make up or vice-versa;
Guys who don't pay their bills or get traffic tickets every month;
A guy who smokes pot in the parking lot of the place where he works and wants you to be less conservative and start smoking pot as well.

Sigh. It seems like an endless list, doesn't it?

To Someone

The architecture of the city is plural and restless. Your voice comes and goes. The sky was pale blue today. White here and there. Clouds. Whispers.  Our dialog is more vivid now. I still see how intense your eyes are. You come and go from me. But I know you never really leave. At least, that is the illusion that keeps me - going? I see patterns. They make sense. Like you made sense a while ago. I can't reason with Love, can I? Love, this palpable, irrational measurement of attachment and desire.  I don't know if you are the same anymore. The same I knew.  Did I ever know you? It doesn't matter because you fit like a symptom fits a disease. You fit my fantasy. My fantasy was so concrete and so tangible. I play us in my head. If I had. If you had. But history doesn't rewrite itself.  I can't walk down the street to try and find you.   Unchanged sea. Under the same sheltering sky. I love you.

Writing

Unresolved pain. Nostalgia. Fire. Vivid dreams at night. Immense love.  I read the other day something an old friend once told me. Go back to what you were good at when you were a child. That's where your natural talent is. I go back, and so many things come up. So many interests. Infinite curiosity. I loved words when I was a child. But I also loved animals and nature. I also loved music and poetry. The beach made me go without sleep. I also loved to dance. I remember attracting people's comments while dancing at parties. Not because I was good but because I did my own thing.  I also liked cooking and baking from an early age. Books were also my private world.  But who am I now, forty years later?  I listen to Riccardo Cocciante, and my heart fills with raw emotion. How can someone be so good and write the most beautiful songs? I need to understand Italian better, but what I know and feel with his songs is beyond anything material.  The power of art has to move...

Letting you go

Sunday Afternoon by Rachael Yamagata. I know it's the right thing to do, but the right thing to do hurts like crazy. I see your presence in my apartment. I see ghosts of you. Messages that I don't want to read. It hit me hard this time. Tuesday morning, I am sitting by the window. It rains. I feel guilty and the wind blows slowly drops of blood. Maybe that's a sign. Someone said: if you like him that much, fight for him. I fought for you. I had you in my hands. I gave you so many opportunities. I gave you so much more than you deserved. It's getting cold. You slapped my face. I cried in your arms. I cried myself to sleep. I couldn't talk anymore. My projects are on hold. I can barely work. I write and I write and the pain doesn't go away.
