decorated my walk

in the past i had scattered all the feelings that came out of us two meeting into the brisk air and like fallen leaves on the ground, they decorated my walk.






i hid my dreams among the trees
which danced in delight
for what i had allowed to grow inside of me.


revisiting this place with you was the universe's gift and i cherish it.



hoping
to
climb
the
stairs
that
would
lead
me
closer
to
you.



wishing
to
make
the
right
turn
that
would
lead
me
to
a
kiss.


dreaming of the bench that would forever be blessed in holding both our hearts so close.


taking in the colors and absorbing the peace.

this day held so much possibility but i was just happy that i got to be here with you in this place that knew the beginning of our story and knows by our visit that it's still going.

i promise you a gondola ride

on calle del magazen, near a cafe, i found this gondola floating peaceful in the water on a saturday afternoon. i had been walking around aimlessly when this gondola drew me in. the heart shaped love seat was empty and i wanted to wait to see if two lovers would fill it in. five steps down and closer to romantic paradise. i imagined the soothing italian serenades filling the air with sweet melody and lovesick eyes staring at each other saying, "i'll never forget this moment" and kissing to complete the memory.



i wish you were here with me.

a gondola ride wasn't in my plans during my stay. i wanted to leave something untouched and waiting for me to experience with you for the first time. your absence brought me sadness but the love in the air happily distracted me. still, it didn't stop me from thinking of you. i thought of how far you were and it wasn't just in the miles. our distance was immeasurable.

before i walked away from here i comforted myself with hopes that one day i would return with you. i was happy that i had someone i could save this for. realistically, i knew that it might never happen for us in this lifetime.

i positioned my camera to frame this dream just right. this photograph, a reminder of all the feelings that i had allowed to grow inside; the courage in having opened my heart to all the possibilities of love. it was such an exhilarating moment and when i walked away i was smiling because my desire finally had a name.

i promise you a gondola ride...

flowers at work

i never thought that i would be someone that would recieve flowers at work but it happened to me this morning and i am floored!!! i didn't believe my co-worker when he told me.....i can't believe it still, flowers for me! wow. they are purple irises. beautiful. this would be a romantic thing if they were from someone i'm in love with but since that isn't the case ...... the card was signed secret. i have no idea who this could be!!!

a little update: secret is a little less secretive now. i thought it was just a joke, the person who had commented as secret but it wasn't and it is this person who sent them to me and i just wanted to say Thank you very much. i hope you don't mind that i'm putting the spotlight on you now :) After reading the reason behind it, I was moved, I was touched and I'll never forget this beautiful thing that you've done. the purple lilies are lovely and decorating my room and brightening my spirit. Thank you.

i'm running through my mind wondering who would do this??? who would want to remain anonymous?? i can't help but feel a little creeped out. it's an uneasy feeling. i noticed they excluded admirer (secret admirer) so maybe it's just a friendly thing?

anyhow, i will enjoy this moment because i can no longer say that i have never recieved flowers at work. despite them being nameless, i will love them :)

so secret, thanks for making me feel special and for sending flowers to
decorate my day :)

ironically my horoscope said "Your energy's up and the world's pretty much at your feet, smiling up at you and holding out a bouquet. "

hard to get

I took this test after seeing it at Sirbarrett's site . I wasn't surprised at the results. I'm reminded of the saying, "I'm not playing hard to get, I am hard to get". I can say that this is true for me but in a non-conceited way. I have been a scaredy cat in regards to love for a long time so it takes a lot of work to get close to me. This would be the only way I can say that the end result seems like I'm playing hard to get but I'm really not!
anyhow!

Your Seduction Style: Prized Object

The seduction game you play is tried, true, and still effective: hard to get. You know that the best seducers turn the tables - and get their crush to seduce them. The one running has the power, and you're a challenge that is worth the chase. You are a master of enticing and pulling back. Giving a little and taking some away. You are controlled enough to know rewards come after a long seduction dance. Even though you want to call, email, or say "I love you" first - you don't! You're style is the perfect mix of hot and cold - so much so that you have many suitors. Think Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's ... or any of those creepy guys from the Bachelor. You're skilled at inspiring a chase. The real test is picking the person to slow down for.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?
