Ties That Bind

It's nice to have something left to hold on to when you and a loved one must temporarily part ways. It's tangible. Reassuring in a way that's not really all that logical...
I suppose it IS the thought that counts, after all.
And for me, personally, it keeps the memories of time spent together in the realm of reality, disallowing them to fade as if from some pleasant but short-lived dream sequence.

Anyway, much to my happy surprise, not only did my love leave me with a mix cd, but he also quite literally left me with the ties that bind.



I love the duality of such ideas.

Now I've just got to pull a paper out of /almost/ nowhere in the next four days and I'll be golden. WOOHOO!




I'm really really happy. Like.... surprisingly so. I mean, it was so hard to let him go, and I cried in doing so. But wow. Looking back... I'm just so glad to have him in my life, and I can't wait to see him again.
