I Am Waiting

The streets are duller and dirtier. The faces passing by less friendly and for some reason the weight of the world seems to be heavier on my shoulders. I can’t focus like I usually can. My mind wanders, wondering what you’re doing right now. I reign in these thoughts, trying to concentrate and get the day-to-day things done but I soon find I’m back to thinking of you. I’m distracted in a way only having you near can repair.

I don’t take the same comfort I usually do from my routines. There is a piece missing that is impossible for me to replace. I feel out-of sorts, short-tempered and unproductive. I don’t want to play music. I don’t want to read. I don’t want to watch television. I don’t want to listen or think or converse. I’m in a perpetual state of waiting.

I am missing you so much. Hurry home, babe. I’ll be waiting; for you and you alone.

Yeah, I know, but if I don't let it out I'll bust.

But you certainly put a smile on my dial. Thanks...

Read the Lovesong of Alfred Prufrok by TS Elliot you will feel much much better.

Awww Maso! We need to find me a version of you here in England! So sweet. It's at times like this that makes you appreciate what you have even more. Something I didn't think was possible for you. You are a complete sweetheart! You give me hope that here are loving, caring guys out there. Now all we need to do is convince them all to stop hiding from me, hehe!

Sweet. Hope she hurries home to you as well.
I'm waiting for my honey to come back into town...he's been gone for two weeks, and can't wait to see him tomorrow.

Gee, I did not know you cared.

But I hope she gets to read this.  It is a real beautiful tribute to love.  And a special thing you do have.  Hope she is home soon.

Bahu,

I will look up Eliot's poem later. I don't know if I could stand reading him now, though.

good for you. (And for her.)


Thanks Nicky.

Elie,

LOVE


Yeah, you could say there is a lot of it in the room

Trudy,

very very nice!


Thanks

Sally,

It's at times like this that makes you appreciate what you have even more. Something I didn't think was possible for you.


And miss it terribly. I don't think there is a better gift than appreciation. I don't ever want to stop appreciating the wonderful people in my life.

You are a complete sweetheart!


Awww... *Maso blushes* Thank you so much for saying this. I'm sure the right guy is going to come along and sweep you off your feet, Sally. From what I know of you, you are a sweet, funny, intelligent individual with a massive romantic streak running through you. It may seem like all the men in your life are bastards but somewhere out there, the right man is waiting just for you and I'm sure you'll find him. Thanks again...

InBloom,

Sweet. Hope she hurries home to you


Thanks. Only a couple of days to go. I'm amazed by how empty the house is without her. *sigh*

Doc,

But I don't care

It is a real beautiful tribute to love.


Thanks, mate. If she reads this, well and good, if not, even better. I'd hate for her to think I was pining while she was away, even if I am a little.

Really sweet, Maso.



Oh hey, just the other day I remembered your suggestion of a hula girl/koala switch. Still interested?

I hope you're right.


It may not happen overnight, but if you believe, it will happen.

Heya Shovel,

Do you want me to take photos too? Maybe I could do a 'show and tell' article

Sweet and mushy! I hope she's back by now!

I was trying to copy a link from my playlist for you but couldn't. If you can find it, it's from the movie Love Actually, one of my fav, fav movies, "Take me as I am" is the name of the song. So apt for you right now!

Serenity,

She is not back until tomorrow evening. I'm at work today and have a very busy day scheduled and then tomorrow, I've got lots of things planned to occupy my time. Suffice to say, though, I'm missing her heaps.

Thanks for the song link but it linked back to a blank page. If you can tell me the name of the artist, I'll try finding the song.

Thanks again.

Concentrate on the things


I know but it is hard when I feel like a part of me is missing, ya know.
