Drove to the ferries with The Miss today...
felt really good on the drive home.
Sun out, water.. sky.. green... amazing.
Its been awhile since I've been able to think fondly of times past. Today I told a story about the “soulmate”, and I didn't feel angry. I smiled in memory of the summer I was a child again. I don't want to comprehend the cause, or where some of those actions led me.. I was a child, everything was a wonder.. the fancy of thoughts and the absence of reality. They call it a manic state, sure I'll buy that. But I won't give up what I learned, what I experienced.. and the times of absolute comfort with another. Everyone should have a soulmate for a brief flicker in time.. I don't think they are meant to stay. Like a fire it ignites but is quick to burn out... and hurt remains the longer you stand there.. waiting for a flicker, a sign of life. But do have one, at least once in life.
Every lyric in a song had this great meaning, and somehow we always twisted it to fit ourselves. Talk of standing on a cliff, ready to destroy those in our way. Our palms ignite and our enemies vanquished. Fates controlled us. They flicked their beads and we set off to pick them up. Gifts from the gods, little glass beads. We were children. Ninja shoes... park people and bears.. oh my...
Soul mates last for a flicker in time, waiting for the next life where these children will conquer the world once more.. only for a moment. Heterosexual life partners journey apart for just a moment but spend a lifetime telling each other their stories over and over again, never tiring to hear about such adventures. Both are so important to ones life, but only the strongest survive.
"You can keep my things, they've come to take me home"
