Life

What if you slept?

And what if,
In your sleep
You dreamed?

And what if,
In your dream,
You went to heaven

And there plucked
A strange and
Beautiful flower?

And what if,
When you awoke,
You had the flower
In your hand?.... Ah, what then?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
1772-1834

A Moment

I felt awkward standing there today, as did you. Was out of the blue meeting you in the bank, it was too late for me to pretend I hadn't seen you. I had avoided this meeting for so long. I said 'I've missed you', you said 'can we talk' we walked outside and you said 'I'm so sorry' I couldn't look at you anymore, I was going to cry any minute in front of those shoppers rushing around us while time stood still for me.

You brushed the hair from my face, just looking at me with the same blue eyes. 'I don't know what to say, it's all gone wrong' You held me, so naturally, I breathed in, so familiar, your scent. You kissed my forehead and told me it would be all right, but we both knew it would never be again.

We made small talk as she walked towards us, holding your child. Three months now.

How wrong it turned out. You had finally told me how you felt, it came out of the blue. We had been friends for years, we talked of the future.You had to leave on family business and when you came back from Scotland it was to tell her it was over, finished. She told you she was having your child. That was the end. I let you go and haven't contacted you since. I heard he was born with curls like yours,but all I see are his blue eyes ... I haven't answered your calls, your texts.

I smile and congratulate her, make small feminine talk about babies. She looks tired and worn. I feel you watching me over her head. I glance up, there is nothing left to say. My heart breaks, I say I must go, Im in a rush work etc. I want to say 'do you realise she knows?' but there is no point, I wont ever see you again.

Birth Order

What is your birth order and the birth order of your partner (if you have one)? Do you feel birth order influences your relationships (romantic and friendship)?

Hadnt really thought about this. Im an only girl, which could suggest I have a tendency to be spoilt. Yes Ive been known to stamp my foot in an arguement with my partner. I also realised I was terribly protected by my parents and didnt have a clue about what it takes to share ones life with someone, I mean the basics like budgetting, shopping, saving etc... kinda assumed they just all happened...lol

My Fantasy

Would be to have you here when I awake, curled around me. To watch you sleep, your chest rising and falling softly. In that moment between dreams and life, to hear you breathing beside me.To kiss the salt of sleep from your eyes and lie with my cheek against the warmth of your skin. To do nothing but spend time with you. But tis only a fantasy, one that fills my mind in sleep. And I sigh as I awake and your not here, nor ever will be. Your in your own life far from mine, yet I miss you

Its Got To Be Better Than This

Sorry Im a bit slack on visiting and blogging. I am doing it tough at work at the moment. We have a new manager who sees everyone as a threat and is targeting some of us. It's just textbook bullying and harrasment and there is little any of us can do but survive each work day. If I still have a job after Christmas I'll be surprised and that has me worried sick. At the moment I seem to be just working and sleeping so Im sorry Im not sure when it will get back to normal, if ever.
