Something about last night was right on the money. Something about the way I was putting dishes away, hanging pictures, organizing closets and helping put together furniture felt like perfect. That sounds entirely wrong coming from a girl who wears her independence on her jacket like a badge. Sounds wrong coming from me, who hates suzy homemakers and cleaning, and I need to mention I can't cook to save my life. But this is right, I know it. You just know when things are absolutely right. You feel it. It squeezes your heart. Politely, not rashly, like pain squeezes it. Just enough to let you feel. Feeling is something I have been discussing lately a lot, especially with my cousin. We decided that we are whores for pain. Because growing up in our family, pain was the only intense feeling we ever got. It is different now to feel something besides pain. I like it. I love it in fact. I am happy.
I also think I might be glowing.
Count down update: 4 days until I am married. See you there.
Lastly, I heart (<3) Fall. It is crisp and chilly in the morning and at night. That is perfect. I love cracked windows with the heat on my toes in the car. I love the way the sun looks when it gets cold. It shimmers weakly in the sky, providing clear days, but losing it's power as the warm weather turns cool and then cold. I love my sweaters. Most of all, I love Maine in Autumn. Have you ever been there at that time? It is amazing. It takes my breath away. I want to be there now. Or at Houghton with Kelly. Either, I think, would be an excellent choice.
This was the first year of our songs together
Simple chords are lovely
Simple words are heartfelt
It's the best friends that need you
In my case, believe you
It's the best friend's lives' kiss you
In my case, I'll miss you
