Undiluted

I'll always think of you as the girl planned to stay

for an hour

and left six hours late.



We let Julie Moffitt lull us into silence

as you rest your head

on my sunburned, freckled shoulder.

And I listen to you breathe.


And it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in days.


I'll always think of you

as the girl who never got what she deserved.


I'll always think of you.

    so many people are angered by people who are late, when it is one of my favourite things. i like to think that life can sweep us all up and humans are not meant to be tied down to clocks. being open to the possibilities is what makes us wonderful.

      I think that, maybe, in the real world, we wouldn't be able to be friends. I don't care about the leave time--people can stay as long as they like. Hours after they said they'd leave, days, months. I don't care. But I really need people to be there at the time they say they will. Maybe it comes from so many years of a lack of that, but, yeah, I need people to be there when they say they will.

      Look up Julie Moffitt. Maybe you'd like her.

        You sound like my mom. She was surrounded by people who were late or did not show up and hated it. But unless I'm dying or in jail... if someone doesn't show up, then obviously they are doing something terribly important. It does take a lot to offend me. Plus, I always felt I spent so much of my time saying, sorry, gotta run, sorry, this, sorry that. Instead of just living. I'm sure I make a terrible friend.
