Journal: Please Mr Sandman, put me to sleep


Dear Journal

I am so tired. I had only half an hour sleep today. I just couldn’t relax enough to drop off. I had been texting ‘Ex’ all day and night and he didn’t respond to me. I know it’s stupid but I was very hurt by it. I ended up drafting a new letter ‘To a lost love’.

This letter was different from my last one. It talked about why I went bat shit crazy. And it sounded very Moulin Rouge. First there was love. A year of us being together, and then suspicion. After that night, after the two of you became friends, you treated me differently. It was subtle at first. I don’t think you even knew you were doing it.

The letter then went on to detail how my suspicion turned in on itself and became that ugly creature called jealousy. How that jealousy ate away at me and how it tortured me. How it all drove me insane and pushed me away, and then June happened.

How after that night, I knew I had done so badly but I couldn’t make up for it. I knew why you pulled away and nothing I did could make it right. I always knew that, that my suspicion, hurt you and made you pull back. I have never doubted that and I can’t apologise enough for it. What I never understood is the behaviour that fed those suspicions in the first place, where they came from.

I have asked you to explain them over and over again but I just couldn’t get an answer from you. I needed to know why you began to treat me differently. What was it about your friendship that changed you and why you still treat me like that? It was all that which ran through my head

So I wrote and wrote and then got 30 minutes sleep.

I did end up going to work. I took me new mug and it all worked like a charm. I actually had a great day at work. It felt good being there. Like old times. Made me for a while reconsider about changing jobs. It was quiet and fun and I got to watch Comedy Centrals ‘Daily  Show’. Seriously funny stuff.

For lunch I went and re-registered me car. Nearly three hundred dollars to register the Sentra for a year. Now all I have to do is get the warrant. And I am now quite far off buying the iPad.

The last half of the shift felt like torture. I was so tired. It took everything I had to keep my eyes open. But the good thing is that Beau and I texted all day and hearing from him was wonderful. I made me feel so good inside. I knew he hates me and I know its over and I will never know why he changed. But to have him back in my life for even a few minutes and I felt wonderful. Is there something wrong with me for thinking that even though he was still hostile towards me It was the best thing all week I have had.

I am home from work now. Dinner was left over Chinese. A little television and I am going to bed. Hopefully I can sleep tonight. I know I will dream of him, and I know that is the only place I can have him now. But at least there my imagination make bring into being that which should of happened in reality.

So once again I will rest in this vacant kingdom, only to rise and do that which is my duty in the morning.
