Hmm....

What would I --
What would I do without---
Come on--
What would I do without you?

-- (break even)

Connections divine

splashes of colour
stolen glances

late conversations
reminders of You

deep resilience
shock

company check-ins
signs of You


Beautiful, beautiful, you. Unite, soul.
And the door opens...

I'm looking for love.
Real love.

Ridiculous..
inconvenient...
consuming..
can't-live-without-each-other love.
And I don't think
that this love

is here

in this

expensive suite

in this

lovely hotel

in Paris.

new days

ok ok. perhaps i'm still trying to hear the breeze at dawn.. and these posts may continue

new year, new leaf, new embraces.
and some surprises.
2010 doesn't erase the memories, especially not the battle scars to remind you how far you're come.
at least you're not the one in those pictures

to those who've stayed, to those who've loved despite the rough edges and misguided emotions...
to those who've forgiven and let go of past disappointments
to those who have learned to embrace the moments without expectations
to those who have stood for what is just and real and good

you are an inspiration, and this year, i celebrate you
i celebrate your courage, your victories, your sorrow, your defeats, and your resilience
but especially your courage

shukran... for love...
