people with too much PDA.

  I wonder if this is truly meant to be. I wonder if we are meant to be a couple in the way others are. But I’m scared. I didn’t think I had this much fear in me anymore but I do.

  I want to fall into you. I want to feel your warm waters surrounding me. I want to dive deep down within you. I want to know your secrets and let you know all of mine.

  I’m not sure what else to say… other than I’m sorry. Right now it’s all I can really say.

  Sitting here in complete darkness save for the light that is trying to peer in on me through the windows.

  BREAKING NEWS: Warnings of extreme snow, rain, and thunder covering much of Scotland.

  Love,

  I’m sitting here attempting to study more of the words from what you wrote and nothing is sinking in or ringing bells.

  I’m much rather be thinking about you and daydreaming and wondering what you are doing but I’m stuck waiting in a car for Joanna to show up.

  I stayed up for a while after I jumped offline and test myself more… only I imagined you were there with me… sitting behind me or beside me in bed… looking over my shoulder while playing with my hair. Later I started to drop… out went the lights… and I felt like I was done.

  As for me, I have to run up to the school and get a copy of my transcript to take with me Friday. I should have had it in the mail already but this is F.K.H.S. Yuck, someone shoot me.

  I feel lost today for some reason… just want to sort of be online and surf the net… not study… ugh… I have to get back to that but I resist not sending you off a notie to you and just say that I’ve been thinking about you again.

  Love,

  Well… I’m sitting here attempting to study with Pandora running and the TV in the background. I have forgotten volumes and it’s not looking good. But I’m still plugging along. I have to be at Joanna’s soon.

  You weren’t rude. You weren’t an asshole. You don’t need to explain why you left. I have done that as well without explanation. I know how it is when you have to just sit and think for a while. It’s ok. It is. I’m sorry you got upset. I wish there was something more I could have done or said to you at that time. And to be honest, I wasn’t too talkative last night and I want to apologize for that. And also, because I was preoccupied for a while as well… sorry.

  I appreciate the fact that you get emotional… whatever the emotions are. I’ve been with too many that seem not to have any emotions and to see you express yourself in whatever manner is like a breath of fresh air to my lungs.

  As for me, I jumped offline about half hour after you left. I checked a few more things and by that time everyone in chat dropped out of sight. Just as well, I was very tired. I’m still tired. I don’t even want to work today but I have to. I went to sleep wrapped around my pillow with you wrapped around my mind. I hope you did sleep some as well. I kept imagining you with me.

  Love,

  Say hi to Rhoda for me!!!

  I was just sitting here… going through your previous journal entries… I think we tend to think alike. I also see you’ve been to mine today.

  Ugh… well… my day has just kinda come and gone. I’m listening to silence but have been on and off Pandora all day.

  I had to call Mike after I got off the phone with you. He’s having some family stuff going on and I was happy to be here for him. I woke him up though, but he needed to unload, so it worked out ok.

  I’ll be here prolly all night… I don’t intend on going anywhere currently. I’ll be bouncing in and off the net… as usual.

  I couldn’t sleep last night... I was too charged to attempt to sleep after talking to you. Totally too excited. Plus, I want to update…

  Your voice was totally not what I expected… but it rocked my world just the same. I think I was a little scared today… I’m not really sure why… just that… I wasn’t sure what you were thinking of me after hearing me on the phone.

  I’m behind in some snail mail that I need to write out tonight as well… but I’m sure I’ll be in and out of Facebook and Gmail as well. Multi-tasking rules!
