Making Circles – 26

Later that day, at home, watching television I reflected on my life. It wasn’t a totally bad thing, my unrequited love for Shaun. It prevented dates and hookups and time wasters and various mistakes.

Now, it was time to move out of the ‘cave’. I had to destroy the feelings I had for Shaun.

It’s one thing for my mouth or brain to make a decision, but my heart needed to be cleansed. I needed to expel the love I had for Shaun…change its name to what it really was; fixation.

Just as I had considered the girl who was in love with Rock Stars she’ll never meet, so was I.

No need to tell Shaun how I felt, because I wasn’t going to feel that way, I didn’t feel that way.

Maybe I was lying to myself, but right now, I couldn’t love someone so stupid. Nor could I love myself if I continued to be that stupid.

Shaun had chance after chance to open his eyes and see me. I had chance after chance to see other people, but stupidly, let them go.

How could I love myself, have pride in myself, if I was running behind a man who was running behind a selfish self centered narcissist like Laurie? If he couldn’t see it, then what about me?
