I should hate her…but I don't.

I think of the all the hate that would be wasted on her.  
then I think of all of the sisterly love I could give her because she is just. like. me.
not in mind or body or spirit. we just live the lives of ones condemned
to abnormality. differentiality.
romeo & juliet stories of tragic love.
different love. love that condemns us all.
never meant to pass the lips of a saint. but constantly passes the lips of us sinners

and this venom I spew of hate and love have all just barely boiled over the surface of my skin.
boiled from the back of my throat spilling. slipping. tripping my brain through sleepless nights
dazed days.
all because
I should have said something.  or not said something
depending on how you look at it.

I am pretty sure she had neglected to mention
that she had taken
what was kindofsortofneverreallycompletely mine. the one thing that was most easily stolen
if you happened to get on the good side of my kindofsortofneverreallycompletelymine object of affection

I am pretty sure that she had neglected to mention that
I am in love with my ohsovery best friend.
I am pretty sure that in those whispered conversations between them of
love lost, stolen, or taken from these modern forbidden romances
of
romeo & juliet.
or more like adam and steve.
or amy and eve.

and even through I should hate her
I don't.

she has stolen my best friend
and she chooses to ignore my pleas of communication
she has not told me what went wrong
I just get it from the
second
source
of
information.

I should hate her. but I have no hate, in this fragile mind, for words of such nonsense.
who hates anybody?
who feels like anybody worth hating is worth the effort?
if you hate them, why do you care enough to try?

but I am am a broken record record. trying to say the same thing over
and overandover to anyone who will listen.
what my brokenrecordvoice says on repeat is
that

"I AM MONIQUE. UNIQUE. SOMEONE. I LOVE WARM DAYS AND RAINY DAYS AND DAYS OF DOING NOTHING. EVEYTHING. I LOVE STARRY NIGHTS AND CITY LIGHTS AND YOU. I BELIEVE THAT COLOR IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST INVENTION KNOWN TO MAN. GOD. LIFE.

I CANNOT STAND THE FACT THAT LIFE IS SO EASILY WASTED. YET I GIVE NOT A SECOND THOUGHT TO KILLING OFF HALF OF THE POPULATION. BECAUSE WE DO THAT TO ANIMALS ANYWAY. AND BECAUSE WE ARE ALL ANIMALS OURSELVES.

WE ARE ALL JUST TASTING. SEEING. SMELLING. BUT NEVER ACTUALLY LIVING. LIFE.

I HAVE MADE UP MY OWN RELIGION TO FIT MY NEEDS YET I LOVE ANYBODY ELSES IDEA OF RIGHT. IS, BECAUSE I. DO. NOT. JUDGE. I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD LOVE ANYBODY YOU WANT. AND THAT YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LOVE THE SAME SEX BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUFFERED FOR YOU'RE LOVE. BECAUSE YOU DO NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST PEOPLE EITHER.

I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALL JUST TEENAGERS WHO HAVE BEEN BROKEN IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER YET WE STILL SMILE SO HARD OUR CHEEKS HURT. LAUGH SO HARD WE ARE HEARD BY THE WORLD.

I BELIEVE THAT HUMANS WILL BE THE CAUSE OF THE END OF THE WORLD. NOT GOD. OR GAIA. OR ZEUS. OR POSEIDON. BUT HUMANS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL CAPITOLS CATCH SOMEONES EYE AND MAKE YOU PAY ATTENTION.  EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT YELLING.

AND I LOVE HEARTS. NOT JUST BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOVE. BUT BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN LOVE. AND AFTER I AM DONE I AM GOING TO RUN OUTSIDE AND DANCE IN THE RAIN. WHETHER IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE OR NOT. BECAUSE I CAN. BECAUSE YOU CAN. BECAUSE WE CAN.

and because in the end I hope I still have a best friend…


i had attempted to say this before "she" moved. never did. and i had told "ohsoverybestfriend" before. she just didn't hear me.

but that doesn't mean shit.

they still want to be together. istillwanttobewithher. and now nobodies happy...
