I'm convinced I have no match. I've heard there's a lot of fish in the sea, I'm just thinking I'm in the wrong ocean. I need to jump over some sort of panama of canal of women. I'm not sure I mean that as a metaphor.
I can't remember a single person in my life that I've felt truly comfortable around. I see people living lives more my speed, but for whatever reason the people I'm associated with are nothing like them. I'm frustrated around my family, my friends, the people I work with. I don't see how people can be so voluntarily ignorant with their lives, so content with the constant delusional portrayal of themselves. I don't dislike or despise these people, and I'm not really depressed with the situation I'm in. It feels more like a frustration due to lack of any lasting connection to anything.
At any rate. Halloween was cool. I wanted to remember a specific part of the bumblebee. A sight that would ignite fireflies in the stomach of any hopeless romantic. The scene was this:
A night that wouldn't end. At any moment one group of people would leave, another rowdier group would replace it. The house was alive with every soul partaking in every aspect available. Talking, singing, smoking drinking, and then drinking some more. A halloween of all ages, young and beautiful mixed with old and nostalgic. Good spirits throughout.
Flash forward to the present...
I sit on the couch noticing this. Only momentarily trying to recall a night to compare. I sit, and for the first time in a long time I appreciate fully something I'm not centrally a part of. Something I can watch and listen and let unfold. No resentment, no fear of its end. In an effort to sustain the moment, I take note of my empty beer and head to the refrigerator. I stand to face the kitchen and see a girl standing in front of the refrigerator; I see the bumblebee girl. She's beautiful and sees me. She watches, and I return the stare on my walk over. I smile like I had no other intention but to smile and walk only to her. She smiles back and I think of how attainable she just became. She's beautiful and inviting. It's different, a very different feeling than a more common emotion. It feels nothing like lust or wanting, but a mutual offering of ourselves before we're even close. My arrival to her may look awkward to those standing near us, but silence results from deferring unworthy salutation. We both look away from each other still very focused on our closeness. Still smiling.
