I work today, off tomorrow, work Thursday and head home after work. 16 hour drive. Not fun. I will more than likely be forced to sleep in my car on the way home because my friend in Baton Rouge will be gone. Friday night I will go to my cousin Bree's Xmas party for her friends. I will be the adult supervision. I will be responsible...does this scare anyone beside myself??
I think to myself...why on earth do I have a picture of Tami and I on my computer stand here at work? Holy 3 years ago...at least. I used to use the excuse that I liked the way I look in that picture. Now I realize that is a bull-shit answer. I need to get rid of it, but there is something inside me that won't let go. I am not sure why either. She hurt me very badly. We both made each other miserable for quite some time, yet the good times still flash back from time to time. Physically she was damn near perfect which is a horrible thing for me considering every woman I date from now on has to compare to her. That is one hell of a standard to set. Mentally she was extremely intelligent and she was also very successful in business at a young age. She was ideally the perfect catch. "Ideally". I wonder if I blame myself for her actions still at this point. Maybe that is why I cannot completely let go. And it is as if I take my frustration out on every woman I date to in some way get back at her. Like I am a woman hater. Don't get me wrong, I love women...just not one woman.
I have realized lately that some women have a certain control over me. These are the women who I could actually see myself with...wait, no. They are women who just stand out from others in some certain way. Whether they are just plain beautiful or have a personality that I can completely relate to. I find myself jumping...jumping into a nothingness and realizing after a certain commitment has been made that there is a void there. There is something that just isn't quite right. They aren't perfect. I don't want to wake up next to them every day for the rest of my life. I can get along with pretty much anyone which complicates the issue. I can find something in anyone and get comfortable with the thought of having someone near, but later realize that the person is only filling a void, not completing me. This song reminds me of my relationship with Tami.

Lyrics :
I know I've been mistaken But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made I've got some imperfections But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
I hope you're not intending To be so condescending it's as much as I can take And you're so independent you just refuse to bend so I keep bending till I break
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
I've made a commitment I'm willing to bleed for you I needed fulfillment I found what I need in you
Why can't you just forgive me I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way
But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting
But you always find a way To keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if I chose to walk away would you be right here waiting Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting
