my dreams of a mountain man

Oct 21, 2005 09:24

he came back for a single day and night on his way home from minnesota. i hadn't slept in my own room the morning he arrived, and when i came to Harkness to study for my Neuro exam, i found jonah sleeping in my bed. we have so much to do and yet i'm in school...and he keeps asking me to travel with him. i'll go to vermont over winter term or next summer we'll hitch/train hop around the states. or i'll take a year off so we can go to india. we keep making these plans and then reminding each other that we have no idea where we'll be in those far away months and we're both on paths of independence avoiding attachment but it's so hard not to constantly yearn to be together. He left 2 hours ago and i'm still in a state of dazed shell shock. i think i'm seeing everything so clearly but maybe it's all convoluted to the point that it looks like one solid thing again. all i know is that we're amazingly powerful together. neither of us has the upper hand but we're constantly bending over to allow the other to climb higher up, then in turn climbing on their back to reach higher. I guess if our paths are as one as we think then we'll see each other again.

He brought back the song that I fell in love with, and we listened to it while we cooked harkness dinner last night. and the words i thought are not the words at all. They're so much better than "we separate ourselves from each other".

...We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another...

How can i write a paper after this? How can he drive 14 hours back to Vermont after this? while i set out this afternoon in the opposite direction to spend my fall break in missouri?
But we will. life goes on even for those fools who fall so easily in love with one another.
