100 Love Letters I'll Never Send (You can pay for your beer with your AA Chips) (c) 2017

Do you know someone like this? Maybe you. Didn’t get what they wanted. Driven by a selfish need they give up on their life; rather than seeing how they placed their self in positions to get hurt they blame others. He focused so much on getting her that he obsessed and lost his job. I’ve had the worse day of my life. I want anything to relieve this pain. I can’t believe they fired me. All I could hear was their mockery saying things like “Romances and Finances." I look around the squared room. The faces blurring as my eyes are getting red. M y heart’s in my throat.

Everything was lined up. I had a reason to live. I’ve been at this job for a couple years now. Surely, all would be fine.

Missing his girl, who moved hundreds of miles away, he is filled with self-pity. He is at the last place he took her. While there, a pretty waitress he knew of in high school  hits on him hard. "Have'n't been hit on for years. I wondered why now Loh'Rd? Why did it happen so easily?  I paid the bill, Britney handed me the receipt back with her number on it. I drove all the way home waiting for Carmelita to call me back. When she didn't call me back I justified it as being a sign from the Loh'Rd that it was over and I was justified. Called Britney. twenty minutes later, after finding out that she has a toddler, who is asleep. She has pictures of her with a man in army fatigues, 'Oh that's my husband, he's way out of the picture now.'  The ceiling fan was chilling until I felt her body heat. I had gotten up the courage to wrap my arms around her as she was finding a cd to put in the sound system...To Billy Ocean singing " I used to thi
