i wish that this didn't have to be a cliche i wish that the air was always so calm i regret the fact my mouth was shut when my dreams could have become reality when i could have just said maybe even just a few words to let you know that it wasn't because i didn't like you but because i didn't want to be that guy the one who calls you when he is drunk and talks to you all night long with out a clue of who you are or where you came i didn't want to be the guy who did too much e and wrote you yet another 3,000 rambling words i didn't want to be that guy that talks about the human experience i didn't want to be that guy who tells you he misses the 8 hours he once spent with when you were too affraid to talk when i was too affraid to touch but when i got the courage to tell you these emotions i felt i didn't want to be that guy

I Think I gotta change that, I re-read it over and I just feel.. it's really good!! Nice idea anyway. I changed from 8 to 9! ;) - I didn't want to be that guy but unfortunately I was!
