Pouring Out My Heart (subtitle: you can run if you want)

Almost every day I open up a my browser and start pouring out my heart into this journal.  And every day I wonder what you are thinking.  And what good does this do?  Me, pouring out my heart and soul onto pages which you will never read.  I owe you an explanation.  You should know what is happening to me.

I worked for a week on that e-mail.  The first thing I decided was that I would not send you some long meaningless depressive masterpiece.  But as the days passed, I would read and reread everything over and over again.  Adding a few words here, deleting a few words there.  And somehow it turned into a long rambling depressive masterpiece.

I keep opening it and reading it, and closing it without sending it.  It makes me sad to read it and it's filled with everything I can't tell you.  How will you react?  I envision myself telling you these things.  But I can never see your reaction.  I don't want to imagine that part.

This morning, as I feel the depressions crushing back down upon me, I realize that the clouds only cleared for 12 hours or so.  And I don't care any more.  I want you to know.  I need you to know.

I pressed Send.

What will you think of me now?

Will you look at me differently?
