Comments on 'Addiction 'I saw these boxes and thought of you.
But things with you are complicated. To say the least.
You started of as someone I saw around. No big. You became someone I liked talking to. You became a friend. And then it got _complicated_.
We don't see each other often, but when we do, I hear the same things from you. "Beautiful." "Gorgeous." "Intelligent."
But I know there's someone else. That doesn't matter, you keep it up. Eventually, there isn't someone else anymore.
You tell me all the things a girl wants to hear, over and over. And everything about you has me going crazy, in the good way. You tell me, "It won't ever work..." and it crushes me. I want to give up on you. But you're an addiction. We keep talking, but I'm grieving.
I didn't expect it, but now, you're saying maybe you love me.
Love? I tell you that you don't, that I want you to, just don't do something you'll regret. But you persist, you always were stubborn. You say that now, "We'll make it work".
I want to love you. 2008-07-02T04:21:37Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/35362Comment on Addiction <p>wow i really love this probably bc i know so many ppl who r like this [including me] and have 2 deal with the frustration and sometimes lies i guess but yeah i like this alot :]</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/35362?basename=755082008-07-02T04:21:37Zsuspensetakenhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_9854Comment on Addiction <p>At the back of my mind I was thinking “Is he married? Don’t do it!!” I can be so pessimistic sometimes…..<br />I think you have captured the frustration perfectly!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/35362?basename=741672008-06-26T21:54:53ZMistress Elsha Hawkhttp://ficlets.com/authors/mistress_elsha_hawkComment on Addiction <p>I agree with everyone that this is an excellent story.. I also agree with the Box metaphor. Since there are several, each one could represent different things. .This story makes an emotional connection with the reader. It is a universal topic that everyone can relate to.. Bravo!!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/35362?basename=740492008-06-26T16:38:57ZApostrophe http://ficlets.com/authors/murphyrose27Comment on Addiction <p>Very well done. I think I know this guy.

You can approach the box as a metaphor here in so many different ways…</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/35362?basename=739532008-06-26T04:58:25ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Addiction <p>Ah, that hurts. I think this is what they meant when they sang, “<em>One is the loneliest number. Two can be as bad as one; it’s the loneliest number since the number one…</em>“</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/35362?basename=738022008-06-25T15:03:12ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
