In my future? In my past? In my present? I always thought that I had already met her and now she&#8217;s gone. Maybe she&#8217;ll come back out of my past maybe I am dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>What happens to me is I will like a girl only to watch her go off with somebody else. Is there something wrong with me? Maybe she wasn&#8217;t the one? Maybe she was and I ran her off?<\/p>\n<p>I just don&#8217;t believe there is anyone for me. Until I meet her, I won&#8217;t believe. But how will I know?<\/p>\n<p>I really don&#8217;t know anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Signs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I drew this analogy earlier this week,\u00a0 if a woman&#8217;s signs were like traffic signs, I&#8217;d be dead by now. I would have wrecked my car in an impressive ball of fire. Explosions can be cool. But not when they involve me.<\/p>\n<p>I am just a fairly simple-minded guy. I need everything laid out for me. I don&#8217;t like playing games (except the video kind..). Because, I will fail. That is my past experience. And as of now, I do not foresee that changing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Am I?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know, that&#8217;s a pretty fair question. A geek or a nerd? Or a combination of both? I am not really smart enough to really be either, though. I know I am a failed musician. I know that I am a wannabe poet. I know that I am not much of a catch. But I know I could be if I found the &#8220;one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What am I looking for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am not looking for a one-night stand. I am looking for someone to share my life with me. My experiences. Me. Who I am and what I am (of course, what am I?). I am looking for someone who can look inside me, inside the rough exterior and see that there is an actual heart in there. Believe me, I bleed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why am I posting this here?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That, my friends, is the question of the day. But it is a bit therapeutic to put my feelings into words. That&#8217;s why I write my &#8220;poetry.&#8221;\u009d Even my psychologist during my senior year of high school encouraged me to write. And I have ever since. So, you can take my &#8220;poems&#8221; at face value. They are just how I am feeling at the time I wrote them. Just like this one:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Am I better off alone<br \/>\nThan to be with someone?<br \/>\nAm I better doing my own thing<br \/>\nThan to worry about another?<\/p>\n<p>Is it worth being alone<br \/>\nTo not disappoint someone?<br \/>\nIs it worth worrying about being alone<br \/>\nWhen I could be doing more?<\/p>\n<p>Should I stay alone<br \/>\nOr find someone of my own?<br \/>\nShould I think about being alone<br \/>\nInstead of just accepting it?<\/p>\n<p>Why should I not be alone<br \/>\nWhen I have it all?<br \/>\nWhen I am alone<br \/>\nDo I only have myself to blame?<\/p>\n<p>Alone is sometimes how I like to be<br \/>\nMeans that I am always free<br \/>\nSometimes I wonder what it would be like<br \/>\nTo not be alone anymore<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t remember when I actually wrote this, but it was in the past year. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The One I keep thinking to my self, does my one even exist? \u009d If she does, where is she? In my future? In my past? In my present?
