just let me hold you

last book i've read: Pilot's Handbood of Aeronautical Knowledge by the FAA
currently caressing my ears: fb work playlist goodness
general mood: spirits are lifted, up
quote: "No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear." --Edmund Burke
and
"No bird soars too high if he soars on his own wings." --William Blake

You reach out to me, I cannot do anything but thrive off of it. A new relationship does not mean I will sacrifice and give up what I had before. In fact, it helps me value what we had before. If you must, here's what I miss most. Fingers in hair. Wild hair. Your toes. Doc. Organic sheets. Laughing at the silly ideas in Republicans' heads. Playing computer games together. California: LA, Palo Alto, Monterey, San Francisco. Las Vegas. And everywhere else we visited together. Sharing everything. The fact that you never wanted to share with anyone else (I will always cherish that one). Skim milk. Inari. Hugs that meant everything was gonna be okay. Driving and listening to music you like. Finding myself and losing my religion with you. Among a number of things I lost with you. ;) Plane rides when you grabbed my hand and never let go.

What I'm learning is that the grass is always greener. One thinks they have it all, but something shiny distracts, and you fantasize about what you don't have. Then when you have what you fantasize, you just want to go right back to the familiar. Next time, I'll know that I should stick with the familiar instead of go for the shiny. I liked what I had.
