Entry 9: Moments
You know those beautiful, crystalising moments, where everything you love about something, all those good feelings you have about it just hit you all at once? The feelings were always there, never gone away or dulled, but when they all hit you at once, it just makes you feel good? Like finding that impossibly comfortable jumper at the bottom of a drawer when you weren't looking for it, or looking at your favorite book or film through someone else's eyes? That happened to me today, not for the first time, and not for the last, but it's something I always enjoy.
I got home from work today and I'd been moaning buckets about work, about the stupid charges that the car rental company is going to hit us with for our honeymoon, how I couldn't be bothered to do excercise, you know, the usual. So we get to the gym, and we start our spinning class, the lights go out, we're illuminated only by blacklight from one side of the room (for reasons I've still not figured out, but it's kind of fun. Okay, very fun.) and me and Claire are laughing and pointing at all our illuminated bits (not those bits!), we've got started warming up and I look to the front again. I look round at Claire and she hit me with the biggest, most genuine smile I'd seen all day, maybe all week, and bam, that moment hit me. I didn't love her more at that moment, I can't possibly love anything more, but everything good I've ever felt about her and our relationship just hit me in one wonderful moment. I've been cheered up ever since, and haven't been stuck thinking of work.
I can't describe
The things I feel
When you flash
That smile so real
I'll try with dance
Or song or mime
Maybe with words
I'll try in a rhyme
Because when you give
That wonderful smile
You make everything else
Seem worthwhile.
