Dear Lacuna, INC.
A good friend of his once told me everyone needs to hear I love you, I’ve always thought those 3 little words were truly overrated. Maybe I was in denial at that time, but years later I can definitely tell you 2 things that are underrated:
#1 your last call of the day, the one person you have to talk to because they are the only one who understands &/or appreciates the topic of discussion, and sometimes because they are the only one who is genuinely excited to hear from you: translation : they always answer your call even though you know for a fact they screen calls. You will only miss this, when on a regular basis you experience something that you want to share with that person, but now you’re too proud or too stubborn to call, and you would probably get voicemail anyhow. Memory is only good for not letting you forget, association, classical conditioning, yeah yeah where is Pavlov? I need a dog, my cat is tired of hearing about my life.
Short version: having someone to share your hopes, your fears, and your dreams with (not to mention your desires ;p) other than your siblings or someone who has known you since jr high, who has 2 kids and who cannot even comprehend why you’re still single… UNDERRATED!!
#2 sleeping single in a double bed…
yeah i don’t like to cuddle, and I like my “own” side & my “own” blanket when I’m sleeping, but it’s the sound that puts me to sleep that I miss: Rhythmic breathing/scent of pillowcase that is not your own=UNDERRATED!!
It’s funny…i can’t miss 3 words you never said, but yet I’m still unable to wash your pillowcase.
I don’t want your procedure, but I probably need it!
However, I cannot bear to erase my favorite movie of 2004 or the person I shared it with; call me sentimental, or a hopeless romantic, why remember a destructive love affair? if only because
it’s MY destructive love affair.
