attached bespeckled It's not because I'm on my period. It's because I'm getting too damn attached, just like I knew I would and just like I didn't want to. There'd be no harm in getting attached if I was anyone but me. But I'm me. And you'll break my heart without even realizing it, with a shift in your gaze or an angry response. And I'll be dust, and I'll be cursing myself for letting my emotions grow into what I'd forbidden them to be. Don't you understand that I want to be close to you? That I want to wish for something better because I love you and because you mean so much to my heart?

Cicero Dear God, release me! 030227 ... Black Argonaut I was attached to a girl one time. Some could say that we were in love. But that was ages ago, and I find that I am only now recovering from her loss. She's gone, but sometimes I still miss her. Attachment is beautiful when it's there, death when it is broken. 030228 ... Mandy if it looks like i am, i'm not. i don't know how to be. 030301 ... nr sometimes i wonder what the benefit is to getting attached to anyone or anything when there will inevitably eventually be such a feeling of loss 240714 what's it to you? who go blather from
