Description
I am reminded of herwhen I pull aside the curtains in the morning
or sit on the rocks by the sea on cold windy days
or comb my hair
Ordinary things
like a waffle-maker in the supermarket
or old worn-out posters in the city
someone saying "smasch"
or Harvest Moon playing
But most of all
the growing cold
that separates us

I was quite shattered at the time. Still can't manage to eat waffles without thinking of her ...

p/s: Waffle makers remind me of him too... but I've learnt to disconnect it from the person. It does take time though, but not impossible.

No you're not. Despite the lack of consant contact, I'll never forget you. Keep your spirits up... sometimes we need this to remind ourselves of what's really important. And right now, what's important is YOU. So focus on you... and the smiles will slowly follow.

i am trying real hard! but there's other stuff happening in my life too, which is not so happy. lots of disappointments and pressures. it's hard to hang on by myself

I'm sorry things are so wrong at the moment... if I was a little closer I'd take you out for a coffee and we can watch the birds fly while clouds form into animals... The thing is, life does go on, albeit a lot more painfully at first. Disappointments and pressure will never go away, but you still have what lies within you - strength, courage and hope. Never give up. The storms will pass, I promise.

Hey you. Just updating you on the itinerary. You mentioned you'll finish up in June. I'll be in Portugal and Greece in June, and Greece and Italy in July. Would be great to have that coffee!! And you can tell me more about your journey. Take care my friend.
