a girl
a girl i was once very close to has found me on facebook. this is neither a bad thing nor a good thing — it is just a thing.
i liked this girl. a lot. we didn’t have nearly enough in common, but i liked her.
she first friended me a few weeks ago and i thought nothing of it — accepted it and moved on. then she messaged me that i still make her smile. to which i responded politely and played the catching up thing.
tonight she vented about her current domestic arrangements and utterly poured out her soul and her fears and what keeps her awake at night and the hero in me wants so badly to end her pain but yet we are lifetimes apart and i do not crave her romantically or even physically or emotionally for that matter short of to pull her into my arms and tell her it’s going to be okay…. it’s what i do.
