i see that the main storm missed n'awlins. although over a foot of rain may not constitute much of a miss. if you wanna talk about a major world class miss then i can talk all night. yessir, i miss her that bad. she said she thought she was doing ok at the gf thing and that she hadn't been so sure she would at the outset.
i always thought i would be cool with it, that it wouldn't bother me a lot. (previous gf's pipe down, i hear your howls of protest). turns out its bothering me a fair bit, but realities are what realities are. she has hers and i have mine and for right here, right now we got each other. thats a helluva lot more than most folks ever have.

her love given without strings
or binding chains
gossamer soft
a covering mantle over my worries and cares
fade resistant and unbreakable
timeless unending
ecstacy
