There is someone in my life, who I have found myself to be in love with. I say it that way because it’s just that, one day it just hit me, hard. I have known her through my travels, on my way to work. I ride the bus. She’s everyone’s favorite. I know this because I ride a lot of busses in any given week. No other bus rides are like this. She’s such a kind, fun, kinda crazy person. She remembers things you say to her. I can’t imagine how many people she sees in a day, but yet she remembers you aren’t looking forward to this week and later on, asks how it all went. I am not a very social person but yet, I could tell her almost anything. I have learned a lot about her, she’s been working for the bus company 21 years, and she’s not much older than me. She lost someone close to her a while back and the past holiday season was kind of hard to get through. I felt the sadness one day..she wasn’t her normal happy self and I so badly wanted to cheer her up, but I didn’t know what to say, or even if I was right at guessing what had her upset. It turns out I was right. But yeah. I hate feeling shit like that. I get such damn intense thoughts. It drives me mad. I really am my own worst enemy. But I really do love her, in a wierd way. I wish we could be friends outside of the transit realm but could never have the courage to try. Sometimes the fantasy is just safer.

HI wintergirl.. thank you for sharing .. yep you are in love you can see it and feel it in your writing.. for people like us it can be the most important thing in the world and all incompassing.. i know exactly what you are talking about.. ever want to talk about this, i am here.. it is my favorite subject..
Life is short. Next time you see her ask her i she wants to have coffee sometime and see how it goes.
Don’t regret 30 years from now not kissing that boy on New Years Eve. (oh..um that was me, sorry).
Think of it this way, you are on a suicide support site. Why not just go for it right? No where but up from rock bottom.
oh my god. why is this strangely inspirational
Thanks for your replies, Hazy, Phantom and Sportsnut. I don’t know what to do, but I’m okay with that for now.
Yeah sportsnut you are right, it’s like it is the most important thing. The words aren’t coming out for me tonight but you are so right.
even if u can’t do anything about it now, it can still be a wonderful distaction
That it is. Even if nothing ever comes of it. It’s still something that makes me smile. I have a lot of sad days, but the times I spend with her can always make me happy.
