A romantic HEyHEY says
I wish I had done something to express how I felt about her. Maybe then, I would not try to say, "Ah, well - it would have gone wrong anyway." In a feeble attempt to justify my actions of cowardice. Maybe then I would not, to this day, regret my chicken"ish" ways whenever I saw a girl that resembled her. Maybe then my parents would not think "why they hell has our boy not found a girl he wants to marry?"
Maybe then, I would not concentrate so much on my career pretending that my work was more important.


Yeah...I've been drinking...wanna make something out of it?

1. I wish I had told her...
how much I fucking hate her!

I wish I'd let her know about how much I really cared... about being rid of her.

I wish I'd have acknowledged her attempts to patch things up... so I could cold-bloodedly reject them.

But instead I contented my self with solitude, and it's the sweetest drug a man can ever know.

12. I've told you this before
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 12:38 AM by HEyHEY
At first Inever figured I'd be interested in this particular girl. then, we spent a night together on a bench overlooking the St. Lawrence.
A few weeks later in Quebec..she made the move..very agressive, but I liked her so much I was too scared to do anything.
I still keep in touch with her... but really...it's done.

EDIT: That is such a shortended version it's not even funny

4. It is a very hard thing to have regrets, my dear HEyHEY....
And I think you have some...drive them away...

I have no problem with you drinking...but drinking when you are already down just reinforces the pain you're feeling, my dear...

Carpe diem...seize the day...Somebody said: " Yesterday's history, tomorrow's mystery...TODAY is life." Not a bad way to see things, IMHO....

You are a special guy...and out there somewhere is a girl looking for you... I know it....I feel it...

:loveya: :hug:

9. My feeling down only begins AFTER I'm loaded
Thankfully.

Funny thing about the special girl out there thing:
I've realized my mistakes and really have accepted my fuck up and that that was my chance. It's cool now, I do other things... it's only on occasion I get regretfull

10. I've got you beat.
I'm a fucking idiot. I had in my grasp THE perfect woman, and for reasons I can't even graps at this retrospective point, I didn't even make an attempt. It's been 2 1/2 years, and I still think about how I'm probably doomed to a life of solitude for a being a fucking retarded idiot. We have so much in common, and she has everything I look for in a woman, and she's long gone.

Not only that, but she's in a very serious relatioship with one of my best friends. How's that for a fuckin' tragedy?

Yeah....I've been drinking, too! Is that when these feelings come out in "public"?!

15. OK, whoa.
That certainly didn't happen. Nothing close. Yeah, dude, WTF were you thinking?

Seriously, what was going through your head at that point?

Well, in my case, I didn't realize she was absolutely perfect for me until it was way too late. But she wanted me, I knew it, yet blew it off. For stupid fucking reasons (i.e. other girls). I hate myself.

20. I understand that
I hung out with this one girl several times. Way too gorgeous for a clown like me. We're great friends and all, but now I think back and I see the signs I was missing. I always was attracted to her, but we got along so well, I didn't want to screw that up. She knew I was interested in someone else too, who, frankly, isn't as good as she is, but I'm a fucking idiot so.... Well, anyway, she thought I was the funniest guy in the world, always wanted to hang out and so on, once she basically asked me out. She said: "We should go to the casino, gamble and have a few drinks tonight." Like a dumbass I said something like:" Yeah, the thing about gambling is you need enough of it to waste in the first place just to do it and I don't have enough." :spank: It should be a crime to be that stupid. But, at least, I never turned down sex. :) No, I can see why you did that though. Sometimes you just don't want to go down that road and mess up what you already have, even though something even more satisfying may be on the other side.

17. I know the feeling
exactly.

Being a chickenshit is a tough thing. Especially when you are only that way with regards to women.

I'd consider drinking but I have some writing to do. And, I need to get up early.

19. I feel like sharing lyrics to a song sung by the Pogues...

Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway
(Gerry Rafferty)

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn't like me anyway

She always wanted more than I could give
She wasn't happy with the way we lived
I didn't feel like asking her to stay
Her father didn't like me anyway

Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me
Daddy didn't like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked, he'd have seen something in me
But Daddy didn't really care

To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now she's taken leave of me today
Her father didn't like me anyway

Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me
Daddy didn't like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked, he'd have seen something in me
But Daddy didn't really care

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn't like me anyway

23. If she were "the one"...
she would have been the one. In other words, the hopeless/hopeful romantic in me believes that if it was meant to be, it would have been. There's someone out there that everything's going to click with even more. You may have more junk to go through until you get there, but when the cosmos are ready for it to happen, it will happen. :)

24. Regrets. I've had a few.
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 07:06 AM by Misunderestimator
But then again, too few to mention.

Hope you don't have a hangover this morning.

25. ah the one that got away
we all have someone like that in our thoughts, every now and then. But then you find the one that doesn't get away. And then you will know.

:hug:

(hey I'm a romantic, too, just a bit more pragmatic.)
