On New Years Eve of 2008, I met a guy I would eventually fall in love with.
Ninety days later, he left the country.
This blog is both an online diary of the thirty9 weeks until I see him again
& a recollection of the events that created 'us'.
A running commentary on a long distance relationship friendship.


A failed relationship - documented.
The final installment of 'Our Story' was never written & I doubt it ever will be.

Surprise #3

I wrote this one earlier in March. I didn't think too long about it. I didn't have to. Like you said, the words just flow...

(06/03/2009)
It's a sideways glance.
The down turned eyes. <<
this happened at the wedding SO many times
It's that sudden stop of your heart.
When they walk in the door. <<
when I was waiting for you

The short message.
Turning you into the Cheshire Cat. <<
everytime I got an email
It's the comfortable silence. <<driving around town
The long hug goodnight. <<you know exactly how I felt about these

It's the butterflies you get.
When you know they'll be there.
The tiny inside smile.
That finds it's way onto your face. <<
so many times at work

It's evenings spent talking about nothing.
Feeling like you could conquer the world.
The endless hours.
That are nowhere near enough.


It's that pounding noise.
It's the deathly silence.
It's what makes your heart stop.

It's what you do to me
