I'll get into all the introduction stuff later - or perhaps I never will. For now, I'm posting what's on my mind.
There's this girl. Obviously. Let's call her EMT (I'll explain later). I met her a couple of months ago at a concert, and we really, really, hit it off. I did discover a little while ago that she just got out of a long relationship, and isn't really ready for anything with me, although she does like me, and not just platonically. She's been gone for a couple of weeks, however. She was originally supposed to leave on the 5th and come back on the 15th, but it's the 27th and she's not back yet - it's not that I'm worried for her safety, it's just that I miss her. She went camping for a bit and went to visit some friends before that. Anyways.
I was making her a CD before she left, but she's been gone for awhile, and I just finished it. I've been thinking of writing her a letter to leave at her place so there's something there when she gets back - I think it's nice to know that you've been missed. Anyways, I decided to combine the two, and here's the result. I personally think this is a great idea, and I want to share it with the lot of you. In her version I put the band names after the track number, but I took them out here because I want to. So without further ado, here's the letter / track list:
Dear EMT,
I finally finished making your third CD - I hope you like it. At the same time as I give this to you, I have some things to say, however, so I'll do both at once. It really sucks being Alone Again (Track 1), I've come to miss you quite a bit. There are things I've been thinking of doing, but then I've thought about doing them with you, and I realize I'd enjoy them more if you were there. All I can ask is that you Come Back, Baby (Track 2). It's really hard for me to keep waiting for you to get home, waiting here with No Love (Track 3). It seems that the more you're gone, the more I end up thinking about you - so much for getting over you quickly, eh? It's just that when I think about you, a Fire (Track 4) burns in me, wishing you were there. But alas, you're somewhere off enjoying yourself, which is good. You deserve time to relax and forget about your problems, including me. The less on your mind, the better - so I'm going to stay here, Solid as a Rock (Track 5). They always said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I always say that "they"'re always right - until "they"'re wrong, but then "they" will have a Renewal (Track 6), and "they" will be right again. Unfortunately, no matter what "they" say, they can't get rid of this Heartache (Track 7) I feel when you're not around. Maybe if the band got really big and I was a Big Fucking Star (Track 8) then I could take up a horrible fetish like Pedophelia (Track 9) and be happy in my malady, but until then I'll have to keep waiting for you to get back, Waiting on an Angel (Track 10), waiting for the Better Days (Track 11) when you're finally here and we can hang out more.
Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach here. Here I am, all Up in Arms (Track 12) over you, when maybe I shouldn't be writing this out at all, maybe I should be letting you live your life and just be a good friend to you like I said I would before, and not mention how much I like you at all. Maybe I should take pride in the fact that I'm doing the right thing, the best thing for you - but didn't anyone ever tell you that Love is Stronger than Pride (Track 13)? The Question (Track 14) that remains is one of my morality: do I stay shut up and do the right thing, or do I blab on and on like some gushing tenth grade idiot to a girl that knows everything I've written down already? Maybe I should be thinking of myself more often, maybe you're not good for me at all, maybe I need something else; I've Got Dreams to Remember (Track 15) here.
God knows, I could be ruining everything by writing this, but sometimes a man has to take a stand. No More Crying (Track 16) over spilt milk, throw caution to the wind, who cares if I Wreck It Up (Track 17)? I'm doing something that I want to do, and that's what matters now. In the short time that I've known you, you've shown me both Pleasure and Pain (Track 18), and that's all that I can ask of you - you've let me live more than I would have, had I never met you. All I ask is this: Whomever you meet, whomever you love in your life, whatever you do - You Must Be Good (Track 19). And if you feel that there's something you've got to do for someone that deserves it, Don't Think Twice (Track 20).
Love,
Rostek
