Dreams that seem so real...
Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real you swear it happened? I had something like that last night, totally intense. Now it’s not secret to my friends or family that I love to surf. (Don’t worry dancing is still my passion. Surfing is something I’m falling in love with. Not true. Am in love with.) Now I admit I’m not a pro or anything. Kelly, Bruce and Andy can still kill me at pipe any day but that’s not the point...I love feeling the water raging under the board as you catch your 30 seconds of glory riding that wave in.
It’s also very true that I have not been surfing since the summer BEFORE I met my boyfriend. That was over two years ago. I have been insanely busy working, buying a new car and becoming... well very domesticated. But last night, I had this dream... I could feel the cold water and the intensity of the waves as they rock you into shore. It was incredible...truly incredible. I woak up a) exhausted since I’d been surfing in my sleep all night and b) shocked that it really never happened.
This is where wishing I lived near the ocean comes in. I could just throw on a suit, call to check the swells and then run 40 feet out my back door and into the waves. And then, I’m in paradise. But no, welcome to Calgary Alberta Canada. We have the vast open plains to the east and the Rockies to the west. Ugh...kinda makes me sick today. Not that Calgary isn’t cool, just today it’s not very appealing to me... Makes me wish I had made it to Aus...although it’s also been said by some (mostly my boyfriend) that if I go...there’s a pretty big chance I won’t come back. I’ll come back...just after my visa expiries. When did life get so hard? Remember how that crazy physic lady told me, I’d throw it all away and run away to find happiness Britt? I done with running away now anyway...
P.S. This is the first time in a while, I've actually had something to say other than lyrics.
"If you leave, don't leave now. Please don't take my heart away. Promise me, just one more night.
Then we'll go our separate ways. We've always had, time on our sides. Now it's fading fast.
Every second, every moment. We've gotta make it last.
I touch you once, I touch you twice. I won't let go at any price.
I need you now, like I needed you then. You always said we'd still be friends, someday.
If you leave, I won't cry. I won't waste "A" single day. But if you leave, don't look back.
I'll be running the other way Seven years went under the bridge. Like time was standing still.
Heaven knows what happens now. You've gotta say you will...
I touch you once, I touch you twice. I won't let go at any price.
I need you now, like I needed you then. You always said we'd meet again, someday."
