And You Are?

14th, November: 2016

11:17am:
Truce?

11:21am:
Truce.
God, I missed having someone to talk to.

11:23am:
Tell me about it.
My friends were not up for talking about the cake I got in the bakery that tasted amazing or how I read an article that reminded me of you.

11:23am:
Oh yeah?
And what was this article about then

11:23am:
it was about a cat lady who never left home and allowed herself one chair in the entire house whilst the cats basically owned the rest.

11:23am:
well
I hate to break it to you but i'm allergic to cats.
Dog person at heart.

11:24am:
damn.
I was close though.

11:24am:
how even??

11:24am:
in the sense that she lived in the UK.
ha.

11:24am:
and here I was thinking it was going to be some philosophical article about the stars or about an artist
but no
its about a crazy cat lady.

11:24am:
never said she was crazy, Ams.
that was all you.

11:24am:
either way
this is better.

11:24am:
better than a void of silence?

11:25am:
better than sitting and telling my friends or my dog everything that I want to tell you about.

11:25am:
you can't underestimate the power of a virtual friendship
even though you can't see me
or hear me
my words do alright.

11:26am:
do you think realistically our friendship would last?
not to intentionally dampen the mood but really?

11:26am:
we can always hope Amy
its better to live in the now than dwell over events yet to come.
how do you think our first meeting would be?

11:26am:
well, I'll have you know that it is all planned out.

11:26am:
do tell

11:26am:
I'm walking out of this cafe in the city, by the high street when I see an advert for a show in one of the old traditional theatres.
Walking in its empty. A microphone on stage with a spot light, out you walk and sing to me whilst I sit in the middle of the theatre.
Oh shit wrong story.
that's about how I meet Ryan Gosling.

11:26am:
way to ruin it.
it was cute up until that moment.
unrealistic
but cute.

11:27am:
alright big shot, how would you have it?

11:27am:
What is your favourite place or part about home?

11:27am:
Only one place in my home town?

11:27am:
Yes
meaning it can't be the cafe in the city.
where you live, in your radius specifically.

11:27am:
the old oak tree by the river.
we used to play there when we were kids on walks with our families.

11:27am:
then I'd leave you clues, send subtle messages leading you there on a starry night which would most likely be freezing and cloudy.
but we'd meet there, sit in the tree and talk about anything and everything.

11:28am:
now that is sweet.
but one small problem matchmaker.

11:28am
of course there is

11:28am:
the tree got chopped down, well hacked down around four years ago.
it was truly a heartbreaking moment
I mean, it got neglected when I was a teenager, the grass over grew and it looked awful.
never thought they'd get rid of it though.

11:28am:
that sucks.
sorry.

11:29am:
nothing to be sorry about
its a tree
an old memory.
what about you though? favourite place at home?

12:29am:
there's this gallery/library
it's been around since I was young but they re opened it when I was 14, so about 6 years ago now.
the artwork and abstract pieces are nothing like I've seen before.
then they have a library upstairs that they built around still contained the old designs, its a combination of the old and new.
inside the library there's this place, this one spot that's secluded where I can just be alone for a little while.
truly and utterly alone.

11:30am:
do you go there often?
this one spot.

11:30am:
not anymore.
I don't need to feel so alone or need to be.
as I have you.
