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.

Waiting for the 7.18

There's only one line in this song that counts.
You'll know what it is.

Waiting for the seven eighteen
January is endless

Weary-eyed and forlorn

The Northern Line is the loudest


Sitting in silence in bars after work

I've got nothing to add or contest

Can still kick a ball a hundred yards

We cling to bottles and memories of the past


(Give me moments)

Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)

Just give me moments (give me moments)


Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night

With the sadness of those molars

Spend all your spare time trying to escape

With crosswords and sudoku


If I could do it again
I'd make more mistakes
I'd not be so scared of falling

If I could do it again, I'd climb more trees
I'd pick and I'd eat more wild
blackberries

(Give me moments)


Just give me moments (give me moments)

Not hours or days (give me moments)

Just give me moments (give me moments)


Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend (x8)
