It took a while, but she finally wrote what she needed to say: “I love you, and I forgive you.”
And then she burned the letter.

Keeping Up Appearances
“You keep on your sunglasses, your colors do not match, you walk like a wimp. I regret I responded to your ad.”
“Honestly, I’m blind.”
Sleepless Dream
It came to me in a dream. I’ve regretted ever since that I wasn’t sleeping at the time; it never came again.
Real Hell
I had always imagined blazing hot flames, whips and chains, and one hundred tons of pure, physical pain. But if I had known that hell was going to consist of watching over and over again the thing I did to you… well, this is far worse than the punishment I had imagined – and there’s no way to go back.
Held Back
When we talked we both could tell we liked each other. The only thing that stopped us was ourselves.
Lost
You died in my arms. I died in yours a hundred times.
Hobbies
My hobbies include remembering happier times, imagining a successful version of me attending our high school reunion and hoping we find alien life before I die.
C’mon Mars Rover, you can do it!

Anniversary
On our anniversary.
You’re with someone not me.
Kissed

This has only happened a billion times.
Mistake
Everyone makes one mistake.
Perhaps you were mine.
Author
After all my years in poverty I decided to get real and expose myself.
Now I’m rich, shivering and cold and wishing I could take it all back.

Sex never even crossed my mind, until two
hours and four beers later, you said I love you. Oh well.
Afraid is the Man
Afraid is the man who keeps to himself his life as if guarded… who keeps social togetherness at arm’s length… and who stares at his shoes wondering where and when it all went wrong, mumbling to himself about times that should have been. Terrified is he who journeys back in time to change what was (if only in his mind) into what should have been, thus living a life aberrant to the original plan.
If you stay long enough you get what you don’t want
I was actually getting sober after a long night out with friends when a man came up to me offering cannabis. Had I waited for a little longer I would have never bought the grass that would change my life.
