Different From the Rest

I'm so happy I met you. I'm so hungry
Tonight. Of course it's my fault. I keep
Talking to things I love all day long, things
With two legs that grow stubble in the
Morning. You're so sweet. And shy. And
Kind. And I honestly don't want to talk to
Anyone else tonight. I don't think I'll ever
Be good enough for someone I want. It
Just hasn't seemed to happen in so very
Many years. I just... All my life it seemed...
I was never good enough for the people
I loved most. I lie in bed hungry in the
Darkness. But it's nice, though I'm so
Hungry. It's cool, but it's warm, that
Delicious paradox I love so much. I'm so
Tired of constantly failing what I love the
Most. But you seem to like me. I don't think
You'll be with me for long, though you're
Of course not with me in person tonight,
Just in spirit. I'm so very alone tonight.
I'm not sure there's anyone in this world
More alone than me tonight. But I have
The whole weekend until they cut off the
Electricity. I have a whole weekend of this
Wonderful cool darkness under the
Blanket. I've just never measured up it
Seems for the faces in my life I craved to
Look upon me in love and longing. But
It's ok. I'm so glad I met you. You're so
Wonderfully different. And I think you
Already understand that I understand so
Much. I'm so lost tonight. I've never felt
So abandoned in my life. So imperfect.
But it was so nice talking to you for that
Very brief time. I'm sleepy. I guess I'll
Get cozy and warm under the covers. I'm
Recuperating from the usual fare of my
Day, the not ever being good enough
Extravaganza that is my particular
Existence. I think I'm about ready to doze
Off. I'm thinking about you tonight. And
Hoping maybe you write back someday.
Because there's something softly amazing
About you, something rare. Something
Sweet and shy and charming and
Innocent. Something so wonderfully
Different from all the rest.
