You know, something occurred to me while I was away. Well, it started to occur to me on the trip over (boring as it was). If you know this is the last time you are going to spend with someone you adore, what would you do??
I fantasized about the romantic things we would do and for the most part did. But as time crept by it got harder and harder to stay positive and I kept trying to remember if there was anything I wanted to say or to just make one more memory. I don't think it is every really what you think it will be, the way you build it up in your mind.
But in hindsight it was pretty damm close to perfect, the anxiety I was feeling came from thoughts of it not being enough to hold on to on those lonely nights ahead.
(Oh, and here's a pic of the beach down there)

I'm feeling you babe. I often imagine what I would say to my sailor if I knew there was a real possibility that I would never speak to him again. In fact this week and the next he will be in training so we won't have the opportunity to communicate. The other night I was contemplating whether or not I should tell him how much I miss him. Isn't that goofy? It's almost like we unconsciously default into this game mode when we realize that we have feelings for someone. Instead of being upfront and completely honest we play a game of strategies and wit mixed with perhaps denial because no one wants to be left "ass" out. It's understandable but silly at the same time. Well anyway, I imagine just how much my heart would ache if I never heard from him again and at that moment you reach a certain height of clarity where everything you're feeling becomes very defined. The only problem is translating these feelings into words that won't make you sound like a dork. However, to coin the phrase of a not so popular movie: "If you are unwilling to look foolish for the one you love then you don't deserve to be in love". I'd have to agree.
