What a change a year can bring. It's Sunday night, June 7th. I feel a twinge of sadness looking back on the fact that on the equivalent Sunday last year (2008) i was back home after a fantastic day, that topped a brilliant weekend. I can remember it right clearly aswel ! Friday night the Paris's were dowe, just the usual banter etc... Saturday morning i was at a funeral for a teacher, but it was a great occasion (despite obviously being quite sad) After said funeral me and wee half pint headed into the city to meet the love and her pal. Had a great day, then me with some people from school and then dad picked me up and took me home, were the paris's came down (again) for another good night. I had a nice book come through the post aswel ! About John Hughes and his films. Inspired me, i do say. Then it was topped of on a Sunday that was as random as it was fantastic. Headed up on a train with a Skywalker look-a-like to the highlands gateway (Begins with a P for the un-educated) and then went to some random lassies house for a bbq ! The mrs was there like, so i was known ! Anyway, what could have been a weird day, wasn't just due to the fact that right then i realised that i was in a situation that was more serious then i had thought, and the 2 and a bit hours spent on a trampoline were some of the best spent of my life !
Obviously all of that resulted in some of the best times of my life, with the remaining weeks until a certain departure being some of the happiest i'll ever have. The entire month of June to be honoust was something special. I had finished exams in late may so that whole period was stress free (mostly) and fantasticly rewarding and fun. I always had something new to look forward too and i was slowly , but surely feeling something i hadn't in a long time.
Contrast then to this year ! When despite now being cleared of the hassle of my shitty school forever, i'm unhappy. It's simple, the reasons why, i have nothing filling the gap that was filled last year, i'm hollow and a bit empty, like all of this build of has just been an anti-climax and that this is the way things will be from now on. An afterthought, not of any major importance. Not a nice thought sadly, and just a wee bit depressing. You would think that their would be something to do about it, but it really doesn't seem that way ! As far as i can see i've used up all my options in this case, and sadly nothing or nobody can compare. Bummer ! My best bet is just to plow on, things will pick up, or at least they should, i deserve them to, i always go out with good intentions, and i've been treated pretty fuckin horribly by life in that respect ( I'm not moaning, i'm very lucky in other ways) but still, it bothers me.
See, whilst last year as i was now going back to school, for a somewhat pointless last two weeks i wasn't bothered, it was an exciting time for me. School was a skive, i was sneakin out to meet people, sending soppy, cute texts and generaly just feeling young and excited ! The year previously as well i suppose. On a differant level, that was when i was first finding out who i was and what i wanted from life. And despite a somewhat shit event in June that last year, it really had a positive effect as i lost somebody i wanted, but realised that the friends around me were great and that i could have a great summer with them. True, it wouldn't rival the late May/early June that i had encountered, but still overall it was good. It wouldn't last, people change and as i did, i don't think i was ever accepted as much by those 'friends' especially coming toward the end of my 4th year.
But then it didn't matter, cause at that stage i had met 'her' and nothing could bother me, i felt indestructible. And last summer when the big plane left here, towards parts exotic, i was gutted, as i had fallen in love with some of it's cargo, but i knew that it would be ok. I was ready for a summer of talk, were the things could be learned, and brought towards a whole new level, making the glorious (august) re-union even more exciting, as two months worth of conversation, phonecalls, webcams and pictures and all the tension and nervous energy they created, would be released in what can only be described as one of the most powerful and destructive, yet wonderful, feelings i've ever had the good fortune and luck to enjoy. If only, it could remain so ! Ahh well.
So this year, what do i have to look forward too ? Well on Tuesday i have a weeks holiday in florida, Good times ! But after that i'm clean, nothing at all, apart from driving lessons etc... This year there is no she, nobody to talk to everynight until 8am. Nobody to love. Theirs not even somebody to focus on, to beat myself up over, like the year before that (2007), which whilst, being sad and annoying, is also quite a strong emotion. Knowing that you are capable of feeling such strenth for another. Although compared to the following year what i felt was nothing, just childish, confused yearnings, nothing more. But no, i really have got nothin to feel for, or nobody as it may be, i could have had, but i pretty much let that potentiol slide about a month ago ! Ahh well, no great loss on that front really, i can do much better !
So here's to the future ! Let's hope something unexpected can come along and cheer me up, change the direction of what's bound to be a mundane, excitement free summer ! Let's hope.But fuck it's not likely.
So everything changed.... Except.... For the way i feel about you.
I'll Be Talkin To Ya xx
