    ...I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

    10th grade
    As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called “best friend”. I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said “thanks” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.

    11th grade
    The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn’t want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said “thanks” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.

    Senior year
    The day before prom she walked to my locker. “My date is sick” she said, “he’s not going to go.” Well, I didn’t have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as “best friends”. So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn’t think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said “I had the best time, thanks!” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.

    Graduation Day
    A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, “you’re my best friend, thanks” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.

    A few years later
    Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say “I do” and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said “you came!”. She said “thanks” and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.

    Funeral
    Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my “best friend”. At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love him but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me!

    I wish I did too… I thought to my self, and I cried.

    五月天 Mayday - 如煙 Like Smoke

    Is there really that kind of forever, forever unchanging
    The beauty we’ve once embraced never shattered
    Make rapidly passing time unable to run wild on my face
    Make the separation of life and death distant

    Is there really that kind of tear that can wash away remorse
    Transform into a rainstorm falling on a street I can’t return to
    Give me one more chance to rewrite the story
    To offer the apology I’ve owed him all my life

    Is there really that kind of world, where the sky never goes dark
    The stars and sun and everything listens to my commands
    The moon doesn’t wax and wane, spring isn’t far away
    Twigs hold tightly onto their leaves

    Is there really that kind of rose that never wither
    Forever proud and perfect, forever uncompromising
    Why does life turn out to be like a scrap of paper
    Not like a flower petal that was once splendorous

    Is there really that kind of bookmark that can stop on that day
    At that most innocent, smiling face and that most beautiful year
    A backpack filled with cakes and sodas
    Eyes devoid of suspicion and wrong-doing, let us be outlaws

    Is there really that kind of poem that doesn’t end
    Youth forever halted in our own time
    All the boys and girls have guitars and dancing shoes
    Laughing and forgetting life’s suffering, just knowing its sweetness

    Is there really that kind of tomorrow that lets me live all over again
    To once again experience the yesterday I squandered
    Whether surviving or living, I won’t waste a moment
    Won’t let this story be so filled with regrets

    I sit before the bed watching my fingertips already like smoke

    Hey Clement

    I hope this finds you well. I just wanted to say I found your blog to be nothing short of fantastic. It took me a while to get through it, and frankly I am not sure I have seen every since last post, but clicking on what grabbed my attention was very satisfying. You’ve got a great collection of quotes, missives and pictures and I just wanted to show my appreciation for the passion you’ve shown. Some of your personal thoughts also struck a chord with me on so many levels - it takes a lot of courage to put your heart on your sleeve and I am, as I am sure your other readers feel, glad you did.

    Take care and keeping it going!

    Best regards from London, England.

    Nick

    P.S. Nikolenzki is not my real name, it’s just something I randomly made up

    P.S.S. I also watched “Love of Siam” an unhealthy number of times.”

    Thank you.
    This warmed my heart, brightened up my day, and put a smile on my face. :)

    I hate knowing you want to be with someone, but you can't

    :(

  • August 12, 03:53 AM

    Love isn’t physical.

    You can express it physically, but it isn’t physicality itself. That’s why I feel that these standards of beauty that society throws at us are just completely distorted. I love my friends and my family, I don’t care what they look like because they mean a lot to me.

    And if you notice these couples that are only with each other because they’re physically attracted to each other, you’ll realize that they never last because they have no true connection.

    You're only as old as you look. You're only as young as you feel.

    Life doesn’t let age dictate maturity.

    THE INCIDENT - a fast-paced, retro-style action game for iPhone and iPad ($1.99)

    A great iPhone game recently released. Addicting gameplay, awesome art, killer one-track soundtrack.

    In a nutshell: all sorts of random shit falls from the sky, and you’re this poor little dude trying to dodge all of this and climb to the top, whatever the top may have.

    …just trust me on this one.

    Got this yesterday. It’s awesome! Plus it works on both my iPhone & iPad!

    FYI: Relationships aren’t forever, if anything they’re just temporary when you’re this age. But on the other hand, your friends, they’re the ones who are going to stick around when your relationship goes down the drain. Don’t forget that. 

    Well put. :)
