Where did we go?

Do you like spending time with me?
When you think of me, does it bring a smile to your face?
Do you plan to do stuff with me?
Do you like talking to me?
Do you like doing things with me?
Do you eagerly wait for me to get back from work?
Do you think of us growing old together?
Can you imagine us ten years hence?
Am I your life?
Does my smile make your heart light?
Do you love me?

Where am I and where are you? Together and yet apart. Friends hanging on a thin thread. Soul-mates lost somewhere in the maze of life.
I search for you, for the you I loved, for the you I fought for, for the you I want to spend my life with. Where are you?
Black clouds gather above us. Evil wishes hover around. I pick at beads, at holy water mumble the little prayers I know. Try to dispel the gloom. But maybe it is in us.
My hand looks for yours. For the comfort I feel, for the warmth. For that is love. If I could just feel so looking at two intertwined hands. One snug in the other.
My eyes look into yours. Where have you gone? The twinkle, the depth. Where did it go?
You.
Me.
Where did we go?

of cocktails!

The BH calls me up at work.
"Do we have lime?"
"Why?" I'm multi tasking between two excel sheets and 3 ppt's. "Why? What are you going to make?"
"Going to make cocktails!" He is very excited!
"hmmmm... "
"Do we have mint?"
"Hmmmm, yes. I think so. At least we have the plant."
"Do we have muddle?"
This gets me! My fingers stop tapping away at the keys and he has my full attention. "What? What did you want?"
He repeats "Muddle. Will I get it in Spencers?"
I think I know what he is looking for. Suppressing a smile, I ask him to read out the recipie.
My very confident husband reads out " Add lime and mint and muddle"
!!!!!!!
I'm still laughing!
