A Song For Someone Who Needs Somewhere To Long For

My eyes got blurry from staring at my computer screen so I took a break from computer writing.

On days I get to sleep late, I end up being unable to shake this achey, tired feeling and its something only a cup of coffee can cure.

So I walked into town in the pitch black that is now 6pm PST. I called Tammy on the way but she did not answer, so I called Julia and she did not answer.

I left the most annoyed sounding messages, because I feel so awkward talking to voicemail. And on top of that doing it in public. When someone's on the other end of the line, I'm fine but when I have to leave a message, I'm alone. Talking to myself, in public. So what usually happens is just as I'm about to leave my message someone is walking by. I hate that.

What happened tonight was far worse. Before I got to the part where I had to leave a message for Tammy I saw someone walking on the sidewalk toward me. So I crossed the street at the intersection, but the way we were both going he crossed the intersection the other way so when it got to the part where I had to leave a message again, we had crossed paths again.

And then after Tammy wasn't around I decided to call Julia. Once again I get to the part where I have to leave a message and this dude starts crossing the street in the middle of the block coming right at me. At the speed we were both going, just as I was about to leave a message, he was right next to me. So I sped up walking. I hate that.

But I got a good cup of coffee.
