Ok, some might be rather honest. Others sounded straight from outer space. There's always this extremely friendly feeling around, like it's just today that is not the right day but try again tomorrow, maybe, inshallah...

Dunno. You might enjoy gettin this phone calls, or texting me after a while see if i'm still there, IM me every day to catch up, this is all cool, love that. I know you might be allright with someone else but still give ur self-esteem a boost playing this way. Rather childish, if you ask, but fun.

Maybe you really can't break away from home and telling you this only makes it worst.

But you know what?

I called you coz i thoght it could be sweet if you come over for a movie or sth. Play some amazing recordz. Get high. I called you coz i wanted to start something not just talk about starting sth. Let's someday soon have a past together and maybe even a present.

There's a few thing i wanna do. Real things, nothing like games. I wanna stay home late, watching movies, kissing, dancing, cooking, drinking, making love, talking, touching, falling asleep, dreaming, showering; drive around, remain silent for hours, park anywhere...with you.

Or whatever you want.

And concerts! I want to go to concerts. And parks.

And I just wanted you to tell me "call me when you want". I just wanted you to call me when you wanted.

The real thing.

I just thought i'd let you know.
