Josh, Rick, Jay, James

by Megan Aries - Not entered

I don't know what to do about the
men in my life. There are three
and a half boys clawing at my
consciencness with fingers like
razors. The first left eight months
ago but still makes his presence
painfully clear. I can't forget
how perfectly my nose rested in
the hollow of his throat. The
second isn't really deserving
of the term man. Convieniently
forget phone numbers says alot 
about his class. I will soon forget
his name, as he has forgotten mine.
Sweet number three, he is a taste
of home. I wish he could see me 
smile, and feel the New Orleans
air on his face as I do. The half,
named James, I've seen and respect.
We will speak tomorrow, and maybe,
I will find a true friend in him.

Reason for writing:

    I know its silly, but other women should know that you don't need a man in your life, or just because you do have someone, or in my case 3 and a half, doesn't mean that everything is okay...
