Missing

You ever just wake up and miss someone because you dreamed about hanging out with them that night? I hate dreams, because they aren't really controllable, and they reflect some of your innermost desires. So, I think I'm okay in saying that it stinks when you dream of holding someone in your arms only to wake up, groggy and confused, to being alone. It's interesting to me, I can't believe how quickly that someone can come into your heart in an unguarded moment. IF you don't keep it shut at all times, then someone that you're least expecting can just walk into your heart and walk out with it. And half the time, you don't even know that it's happened. All you know is that for some reason, you don't have a problem doing things for that person, and that you always want to spend time with them. When you're not with them, it's like colors just aren't as bright, and the food just doesn't taste quite so good. Which is a silly old cliche, but I think that there is a reason that certain statements become cliche, and that is their ubiquitous application. I mean, you always roll your eyes at cliche statements, but if you really think about it, there is a pretty big chance that said statement would apply to your life at one point or another. That's a scary thought, that maybe we're living a comedy of cliches in our lives. So, in respect to those of you who sneer at cliches, I will leave you with my favorite line from Remember the Titans, "When something unexpected comes to you, you just have to pick it up and run with it." And maybe, this time, I'm running to the end zone.
