listening to: someone to watch over me - sting

where words count for nothing, but actions, everything.

dear lils, thank you for the very pleasant surprise in the mail but more so for the thoughts that transcend the time and space between us. i had this notion of writing you an equally moving and awe inspiring letter but damn you woman, you didn't even leave a correspondence address! so much for romanticising this friendship of ours which has not only survived, but thrived (i think) on a lot more than a few unwritten letters. i see no point in reiterating what you spoke about in your letters, for you should know that my sentiments are almost, if not exactly, the same. but i must say, there is a nagging fear of not knowing when we will see each other again. i fear for you, your safety, your well-being and for all the times to come when you heart will weep and your spirit, broken. i fear for myself, afraid that when i do see you again, i will be left behind for all the engaging experiences that i will not be able to comprehend, just because i wasn't there. i fear for us, that in time to come, we may end up merely strangers sitting across each other at starbucks, exchanging politeness, feigning an interest in each other's lives. i know we're both not naive enough to ignore the reality of such posibilities. and yet, how we still wish for the fairy tale, no? see. that's what i love about our friendship. the common ground we share in finding solace in the humour of being the two most cynical idealists around us, and knowing for a FACT that we take ourselves WAY too seriously... =) now, be a good girl and let me know how to contact you! you'll be in my prayers (if and when i do pray =P) and know for a fact, that i am missing you, even when i do not know it myself. take care, keep safe and God bless, jo
