Letter one hundred and thirteen - the days go on

Dearest J,

UK is beautiful.  You were right back then, you knew I would love London as much as you did.  Am back from my second visit to London and beyond.  I went jogging everywhere when I could, Hyde Park in London, Edinburgh, Windermere.  I saw dogs, trees, people, skies, ducks, swans, wind...in the cold of it all I suddenly realised that I was living some of your history - all your jogging around the world whenever you travel.  That's it - I got a glimpse of what you saw on my jogs, I saw life through your eyes on these outings.  How you talked about your travels and all those running in the cold mornings, I saw you babe.

I took this picture on my iPhone at Carlton Hill, Edinburgh.  That's Nell and Susheela.

I miss you very much.  Not all the time now, but whenever I do though, the feeling is intense.  A boy asked me if I'd date him tonight, I think I said the `right' thing and told him yes I would see him again for dinner (for two) and we'd just chat and enjoy the time together.  After I left him and drove home I realised I was probably just saying it.  I miss you more then.  Back then when I was just startin to see you a bit, I knew I wanted to see you more, wanted to see you all the time, and talk to you all  the time.

At times like this I wonder if this is what people meant by `not ready to move on'.  Consciously I have always thought that I could always date someone new when I meet the person I like.  I think am still right, I just haven't really met anyone whom I like enough.  I know a guy or two whom I find could almost be interesting like you, they are straight too - but they have girlfriends too.

We know there will never be anyone as interesting as you.  The thought of settling for less is heart-breaking.  I guess my second best bet would be to settle for music, and me.

I love my time on the two week outing in UK.  It's not a bad deal at all, not being attached or meet anyone great but get to travel and meet new places and people.

Anyway, this letter is mostly to report that I am happy to have jogged around my trip and it was intoxicating to be living for a moment through your eyes there as I went out jogging in the cold.  I am happy that I get to live that experience and realise what a beautiful life this is - this one I have shared with you.  Thank you love.

xoxo,

B

many things, all of them good.

A cluster of activities.

A mixed dough of projects.

A kaleidascope of emotions.

A rainbow of old and new songs.

A string of new routines.

A set of new choruses.

A set of Jo Malone perfumes.

A new romance with my cat.

A new band.

A new weight.  

A desire to write, write, write.
