In A Little While

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while
I'll be there

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there

In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees

That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since

Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

Slow down my bleeding heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light

Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on

Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

- "In A Little While" by U2


Beautiful song, isn't it? Never told you this, but used to listen to this quite often when I used to come pick you up.

Thought I was confused for a bit...again! But I've come to the conclusion that I'm not.

Maybe nostalgic, not confused. And if, after all this time, I'm still nostalgic, I guess I'm just a creature of habit. I know it wouldn't have worked out anyway between us- you were the wiser one after all- but I can't help remembering. And I am truly sorry for that. Because that means I will have to put up my walls and delineate fallback positions whenever I meet you. A pity, when I have never been as honest with someone as I was with you.

Thank you for giving me that space, allowing me that freedom, for demanding that truth and integrity from me. You have taught me so much. I shall never forget.

It was good to see you smile, to give you a couple of hugs again.

They'll never be the same again, though, will they?

It was good to see you again.

All my love always,

A

A Stroke of Genius

Me: my love
my turtledove

how long must i wait?
to hear that cooing sound u make
or the little flutter of ur arms as u flap them around?
ah, my turtledove
I miss thee truly

She: missed me terribly?

Me: Ah u ask that question as if u did not know the answer my love
I pine for u every single moment we're apart
can u not see it in my eyes?
can u not hear it in my voice?
can u not feel it in the way i shake my bum when ur around?

Sometimes I crack myself up.
