I've been watching them for several days now,

this blind man and his beautiful guide dog who I see outside my window,

taking breaks at the little plantation patch of green every now and then.

I can't help but think

how routined their lives must be;

the dog lives to serve it's owner,

the man in his darkness patiently waits throughout the 5 minutes the pet is released to run around and do his own thing.

Seeing how neither of them really have the life choice of not doing things routinely,

I will try and think twice before I next complain about how boring my life is.

And instead, maybe use the time to make it less so.

I give people the insight to the reality of things, blunt truths, whenever I feel its time they should see what's ahead - but when it comes to myself, why is it that the brain and its wall of immediate refusal towards failure...so stubborn?

We don't eat together anymore,

Don't see each other half as often,

It's okay ... I geddit.

But is avoidance really the solution?

Me sitting in front of my laptop, streaming Friends throughout dinner,

while pretending not to care about you/

having forgotten about you,

is that the way to go?

I miss us.

I hope you miss us too.

You just need to...

look me right in the eye;

and I'll do my part

hypnotise you,

confuse you,

get to you.

Took me long enough to realise

that it doesn't take too much to make each moment perfect.

85% is done through being with the right people,

10% Being in the right place

5% for having the right mindset.

And you're ready to go!

Sometimes all it takes may just be chilling about,

long talks over the dining table over any matters in the world really

- and despite the blimmin' cold,

this connection between the minds also transfers a good degree of warmth.

B.

I don't need very much,

Just want to spend some time with you,

As lovers tend to do.

How long will this wait be?

Every now and then in life,

we get to points where we run into walls.

Long as we know it's a sign to turn back and walk on,

it's fine.

Just never, ever

stay,

keep attempting to barge through

thinking that determination is the key.

Baby, you'll just pointlessly get hurt.

"You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn"
