I Thought I’d Never See You Again

I thought I saw you from across the room. My heart leapt into my throat – I didn’t dare believe my eyes.

I thought I would never see you again. When you disappeared from my life, life lost a little of it’s savor. I looked for you, I searched for you, always disappointed. I had become so addicted, without even knowing it. You made such a difference in my life. Without you, there is only darkness.

I woke up each morning yearning for you, and sad because of your absence. Oh yes, I moved on, I found others, but I was never satisfied. I never found a substitute for you.

So you understand why I appeared so wild-eyed with happiness? Why I grabbed at you so greedily? I want you in my life! Please, don’t desert me again!

  1. I felt the exact same way as you when I saw my flame, after all these years without HER at the boarding gate. My heart suffered an ectopic beat so loud it lead to a minor tremor on the runway šŸ™‚

  7. Hello, Beautiful Liar, nice to see you again. Did you and your friend re-connect?

  8. Hey Skunk – well, I restrained myself, I didn’t buy it ALL, but you can see – I did buy four! And oh, I am so happy every morning!

    Blue Dress – Hi sweetie, thank you!

    Magical – when I lived in Germany, my German friends tried to hint to me, tried to tell me that putting sugar and cream in my coffee was lowbrow. I am hopeless. I have always loved milk in my coffee, and this caramel vanilla – oh, I guess I am going to just have to be lowbrow.

    3baid – you have NO idea how right you are. If I don’t get morning caffein, I get a dull, throbbing headache. Totally addicted.

  10. Allo, intlxpatr :

    I did try to re-connect with my buddy of several years previous to now but you know how the phone lines are – I always kept getting a busy tone every time I tried calling him. Maybe I had better switch to Qtel now.

    Oh, yes and bye the bye in case you’re wondering why I refer to him the way I do – it’s because he works for “fcuk” in Kent.

  11. Ack! Ack! (Sorry for the tiny little edit, Beautiful Liar, but I just couldn’t bear it. Loved the explanation at the end.)

    Sometimes we have to move on, whether we want to or not. I’m so sorry. It is painful, and sometimes those feelings pop up again and catch us by surprise.
