I'm like a virgin losing a child.

"I'm water, you're the dry wood
equal parts misguided and misunderstood
but all the neighborhood
watched a fire burn from where they stood
as the smoke said
"we're not half as bad as God is good"
still there's a whisper in my ear,
the voice of loneliness and fear, so I say:

"devil, disappear!
I'm still (ehh... technically...) a virgin
after 18 years-
which never bothered me before,
what's maybe 50 more?"

I don't know...
I am just glad we are still friends.
"You're a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence
You made a holy fool of me, and I've thanked you ever since
If she comes circling back, we'll end where we'd begun
Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one

Or if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken, open seed
If I come without a thing, I come with all I need
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead

I
do
not
exist
only
YOU
exist"

I just got a home made card from an ex-lover completely unexpected. Her and I's relationship was riddled with arguments and disagreeing. It ended with her saying some things that pretty much crushed me and made me say "I will never forgive you for that". Then she sends me this card that was filled with little things that reminded me of the few good moments we had. I was baffled. This was the same person that spent the past month cussing me out and making sure every single person thought differently of me even though I felt like the only thing I was guilty of was being a guy,one who tried his hardest always but still had some flaws that he was working on. I still do not understand her intentions at all but I think I'm just not going to think about it. I complete forgive her, that isn't a problem at all because I know that the things she said weren't true and she was basically just being a girl. It's just that I have no idea where we stand now or, now that I have forgiven, if I am ready to forget.
You indeed have made a holy fool of me, and I've thanked you ever since.
