All Your Words Are Nice MimiBut Love's Not A Three Way Street
(Rent: "Goodbye Love")
PAUL: How Do You Feel Today?
GORDON: Best I've Felt All Year
PAUL: Then Why Choose Fear?
GORDON: I'm A New Yorker! Fear's My Life!

She Was More Than Okay
But I Pushed Her Away
It Was Bad - I Got Mad
And I Had To Get Her Out Of My Sight
(Rent: "Christmas Bells")
I had imagined 2 scenarios for my reunion with Shaun.
The first had me slinking into my office chair and burying myself with work. He wouldn’t realise I was there due to the huge calendar that was blocking his view and I was contented to avoid his notice for as long as possible.
The second had me breaking into tears as he gave me a big bear hug. Then to avoid our colleagues’ quizzical stares, we would retreat to our smoking corner so that I could compose myself.
And what actually happened? Well, a curious blend of the two.
I was walking to the office after my training course and we spotted each other across the street. Before I knew it, he ran across and gave me a hug. We had a quick catch up at our corner and then a round of gossip at his desk. But we both had tasks due so we buried ourselves in work soon after.
Later he called me to continue recounting all the great stuff that happened after his reservist stint from hell. And he glibly said, “The best thing that happened today was when I ran across the street and hugged you.” Which of course made me feel all warm and fuzzy. “I’ve spent 2 weeks being a manimal,” he continued, “I really need to be a snookums again.”
Fast-forward to 3 hours and an ultra-romantic Jane Austen movie later.
One would think I’d be on cloud nine but instead I sobered up. I felt so silly gushing over him and being caught up in the moment earlier. I'm not quite the same person as before he left. And i certainly do not want to start the cycle again.
