The One That Got Away

Welcome down to planet Earth; please don't ask us what it's worth...you will notice that the world y

About Me

Could someone please just tell me what happened?
I mean, first we pay for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired.
So then we pay for elevators, so we won't have to climb the three stairs up to our apartments.
Then we buy freaking stairmaster machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV.
Now, if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will.
I bet we would hang ourselves if the world would just cut us a slack...
And now you think maybe you should see a shrink, help you feel alive again, yeah, that's a plan; just tell us who to pay.
See, it's really all about time and choice.
The fast food saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it.
The elevators save us just a little more, the stairmaster let us choose exactly when to walk the stairs.
Time is so important these days, it's becoming a freaking disease, and I guess in a way it is since it's bound to kill us all in the end.
Now, with all the time and money we stashed away on other expenses, I can only assume that the tickets to Hell are really expensive...and for some reason, it's important to be first in line.

Speaking of ways, by the way...there is such a thing as a tesseract.

How many have your name?

- Aleister Crowley

Why have you come here?
What do you hope to find?
What would you care to learn?
Only ask of me, and I will try.
If you do not know what you seek,
I am afraid that I cannot help you...
My deepest apologies for the inconvenience.

My interests are freedom and happiness.

What is most important to you?

I'd like to meet:

To be honest I don't know what I'm looking for...
To be sitting here as once before, weeks ago, just waiting for a knock on that door
and I have left all I thought was me...to find out, to make sure if it was you or me that made me feel so free and real, but when we kiss I don't know...I just don't know...
Because it leaves a taste of emptiness, and I think, "What if I'm simply depressed?
Blind? Just finding rest from my mind here in Budapest?"
"Confusing zest with the joy of being blessed with the bliss of self-escape as we kiss?"
"Mixing my being unstressed with your being undressed and the taste of being true with the fresh taste of me and you as we touch?"

I don't know, but I saw so much of me in you, the me I've missed, the young and free in you, but still...that doesn't mean a thing, may not mean anything about my needing you
But I guess we had to meet, to be near; to make sure, and still my dear, beyond this bed and that door, to be honest, I fear I just don't know.
