I chose to love you in silence, because I was afraid of the outcome. I was afraid that you wouldn't like my flaws. I was afraid that I wasn't enough.
I chose to love you in loneliness, because I just knew it would never happen. I just knew it was an impossible reality. I just knew you were too good for me.
The first day I said I love you, our first kiss, the first day we held hands, the first day we hugged, was the best feeling in the world.
I always dreamed that it would happen, that we would become the happily ever after, the Romeo and Juliet without the suicide. The Bonnie and Clyde without the murders. But I guess that dream has come to an end...

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
