  • Lefty from MississippiTerry, I hear you shouting into the void and am right there with you.
  • Marek from SomewhereThe man returns home after the last conversation with the object of his affection. It could have been someone he had been in love with for years, and he had been hopeful that they would be together. However, during the conversation, the subject confesses his feelings, and she tells him then that she definitely do not feel the same way. His hopes were pure fiction, as the feelings were only from his side. From the conversation, it emerged that the girl is soon getting married. Her lover is someone entirely different from what the subject could have imagined - a person who, just in his opinion, does not fit her at all as he knew her. Yet, he still cares about her and wishes her well. Therefore, the subject concludes that she must be attracted to that man somehow and she rather needs someone like her crush much more than she even loves him. She responds him angrily, cautioning him about his words, and that his perplexity shows that he is not as attractive as he probably might think of himself. If that was the case, he wouldn't be alone that evening, while others can turn their chances into relationships. Deeply saddened, the subject returns home lonely, thinking about what happened and weighing various ways to end it all.
  • Terry from ChicagoI'm shocked no comments. This is one of the most beautiful in their catalog. If your so clever, good looking, entertaining ect..why are you alone? The most rewarding, inspirational, and life changing times have been just myself. The Smiths make it ok. They got it.
