or not so quick. anyways, it's like this:
so, i have this heart and it's all grand and merry, pumping blood and oxygen and shit everywhere -- awesome. so when i meet someone, it's like this tiny needle is being pricked into my heart, with their name on it. it doesn't hurt -- it's like the metaphorical acupuncture i've never had, and never intend to -- and it's like the needle stays in. the longer it stays, the more it grows, so to speak. so, let's say i have a conversation with a kind old man at a park that's more sincere than forced; when we part ways, it's like the needle leaves too and it barely even stings -- it's wee like a mosquito bite -- and it heals quickly, and i forget him. what we talked about, what he looked like, what he was doing, why i started talking to him; all gone.
but with people who stay in my life longer, it's far more difficult. their little needles dig deeper, grow wider. and then, through everything, they leave. but yanking out that not-so-little-anymore needle hurts far more than the sliver of a mosquito. i don't want to get rid of it at all. it's like a bandage i'm afraid to rid myself of. but the more i hold onto it, the harder it becomes to get rid of. but when i finally have the tenacity to get rid of it -- oh, it hurts too much to bear. i'll cry myself to sleep at the mere thought of that ache, fail to find any joy in a life without the owner of that giant plug of a needle, and try to find quick methods to heal. only time can heal some things properly, though.
i've already properly rid myself of one needle, but now i've got another. and i can feel it growing and already start dreading losing it. to be frank, i don't want to waste my time putting so much care into something so apathetic -- something that'll leave so soon. something that probably cares little for me in comparison to how much i care for it. ok, him. i don't know what causes me to objectify him, but whatever. i'm pathetic. i need to move on.
