Sitting in Traffic


The car sweats as I challenge myself to patience
There is a sweet reward for this heat and
....incomprehensible mass of machine and humanity
A journey I begin on my own will end
....with an uncanny peace of mind
A peace that comes from hearing the calming
.....tones of a loved ones voice
A woman beyond comparison
Who probably could never see all that I see in her
At whose side I want to be at all the crucial moments of my life
....who showed my myself
....who teaches me not to fear the person in the mirror
....whose beauty still makes me catch my breath
... or sometimes forget to breathe completely....
... whose good heart encourages my soul
...whose intelligence makes my spirit smile
A woman and a girl and a partner in everything I do.

i found this written in one of my old notebooks, from the schoolyear 1998 when i was still in university. My boyfriend at the time apparently snuck in and wrote me this very poem when i wasnt looking...and i never got to see it till today when i was cleaning out my old stuff.A wonderful surprise, and a totally unexpected gift...it was too beautiful not to share....

so sweet! must have been a great relationship.. talk about blast from the past lol.. How did it make you feel? I think I would probably be sad, but then "..have no regret for lost oportunities."

he had a great idea too, I should do this to my girl and then smile and say that it wasnt me if she ever finds it

haha funny , it seems SO Long ago, that was a full almost seven years ago, 1998...i was a whole dfferent person then..and so much had happened to me after i broke up with andrew (my bf then..) incidentally he was my shortest lived relationship...but he was the only bf of mine who would write me incessantly, and such wonderful letters (ive kept most of them me thinks...)
discovering this bought a smile to my face of course....its always a nice feeling to remember how much you meant to someone (and vise versa) even if it didnt work out.
:D
