it's funny how fairly grown up men spend their night in the basement playing a video game where they have to save the princess while their girlfriends are upstairs preparing dinner and doing laundry.

i know, though, that this princess no longer needs to be saved.

i saw s. yesterday for the first time in ages. we circled around for parking - we were going for coffee - and i could tell she was just about to burst. every spot available required a resident permit. i sat there, looking out the window and joking experiencing a little sense of deja vu.

it is odd meeting someone you were once completely infatuated with but no longer feel connected to. it's easier to be authentic, to feel composed.

anyways, we were circling around for parking and come every red light she'd turn to me and looked with the intense stare that she is capable of. as if the lines on my face might tell her of the journey i was on before our paths collided again.

over and out.
