Job Admin continued, a morning swimming with my two favourite mermaids, coffee with grand-folks... Then the most heart wrenchingly velvety roses arrived.
In a starred eyed haze I pulled on my trainers and walked! I took a different route, a couple fell out of the registry office, confetti swirled around us, we run, run smiling, swallows sweep down low and up higher, we walk, the low winter sun shone, burning my face, I count my blessings, a figure walked towards us, a face I once knew years have passed. We sat until the fisherman pulled up the moon, those angels sure are working in mysterious ways. On departing the Stars begin to sparkle through the peach pink sky. Orla & I run again.
Tonight we have our first date ( I'm of course late) candles flicker, rosy cheeked, red dress, gin & tonic, salad, those velvety roses still there, I'm not dreaming. In front of me sits a man, same candles flicker, he smiles nervously, I blush more, his shirt his tie, we clink glasses, eat our valentines dinners together but so apart.
