Poetry On Odyssey: When I Really Think About It, I Don't Want You
Gustavo Spindula

When I really think about it, I don’t want someone like you.

I used to long for you,

I used to want to want you.

You were the reason for the butterflies inside of me,

But now that we're through, I realize

Your habits, they get on my last nerve.

Your selfishness, it still drives me up the wall.

The way you treat people in front of me, makes me want to wring your neck.

You’re anti-social around my friends and I hate that!

Around your friends, you’re such a prick,

You ignore me just when you feel like it; I did nothing wrong.

You wait for me to come to you when I walk in a room,

You’re only in need of me when you need something, not because you want my company.

Selfish you, in need of physical touch and attention;

You need to feel wanted, which isn’t a bad thing, but all the bloody time?

When you’re done for the day, even if I’m there, you leave me, alone.

You’re absent when I need you. Why? Because you don’t give the smallest care about me.

You don’t give one iota of thought about anyone else but you.

You're a narcissist.

How you can just take what you need out of people who love you, people who trust you, people who care?

You are like Hans and I get to be that dummy Anna, just in “love” long enough to get what you need.

I used to reminisce about our time together, when I craved you, when I was blinded by you.

Now, I let a sigh of relief escape my being every time I think of you because I dodged a bullet. A big selfish bullet.

You’re carry so much baggage that you’re like LAX, but instead of letting stuff leave you,

You trap it all inside, never to let go.

You trap people’s feelings until they’re strong enough to pry themselves from your cold hands.

You’re a prison, and I was checked in by my own will.

I constantly, daily, tried to be what you needed,

A shoulder to cry on, a hand to grasp, a heart to talk to.

I broke my boundaries of fear for you,

My walls crashing with every touch, every word, and every look.

I sat through all of your exhortations of accolades that were, in reality, hogwash.

Loving you through the immaturities of your personality and ego.

Your self-proclaimed bliss as you breeze through life on a puff of smoke, I saw through the haze and loved you anyway.

I'm glad we were together,

Because now I know what I deserve.

If you ever grow up and want to call me, think twice before you do,

Because I will think twice before I answer your call.

At some point I wanted you back, but

When I really think about it, I don’t want someone like you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
