Games

Posted on | April 7, 2010 | 1 Comment

I'm terribly sorry for the lack of posting, I am ashamed!  Lately I have turned to notebooks of my past, leading to nostalgia and warmth.  So now may I present to you my past, written five years ago almost to the day. It only seems fitting.

We walk in. You reassure me the work you can do - the walls, carpet, and life you can change. I need no pledge, no declaration of any kind. I can see you & me so clearly. Countertops made only for the pleasure of our late nights lounges. A porch where we can lay like children astounded by the lights & colors our lonely sky creates. A floor for scrabble, coffee, and our flawless Oreos. I want to make love behind a curtain and live in your eyes all the while.

We will dance in the living room. James Taylor will inundate the room & the dog will find ways to trip me and smile the beautiful way only a canine can. She will think we were playing a game & I will simply laugh. I laugh knowing she is right; we’re this game of phenomenal outcome. We’re shoots and ladders with no shoots. We’re Monopoly and Life with infinite spins and shakes and a vast board to play on.

We are limitless.

    this is how freaking similar we are. and I am not even kidding when I write this, but I've spent the last couple of nights reading through my old journals! I've been reading back about 5-6 years ago!!
    I actually posted an entry on here yesterday about it but it somehow got deleted!
    this confirms it. we are soulmates :)
