Leaving for NYC
Well I had my interview this morning. I’ll make a post tomorrow about it because it doesn’t really matter that much.
Tonight is the last night with my girlfriend for a while. She’s off to New York City tomorrow morning to do a fall internship at Harper’s Bazaar. She’ll be gone till sometime in late December probably.
We’ve been going out for over 6 months now. This is has been my first truly long term relationship. We’ve formed this amazing connection and I just know she’s someone special to hold onto. I hate the idea of spending the next 4 or so months being apart. We’ll still talk plenty, that I do know, but not being able to spend time together in person will be hard. God it’s downright depressing!
I know it’s corny and I come off sounding like a pansy but I like being able to cuddle with her. It’s fun going out and doing things but there is no feeling greater in this world then having her in my arms as we lay on the couch and watch TV or a movie. It’s this amazing feeling to know that the woman that I’m holding loves me for who I am.
She knows I’m a geek and lack in certain social qualities. She knows that I’m not emotional but I’m not a cold hearted bastard either. Most importantly, I know she knows I love her because I make sure to tell her. I don’t care what the magazines, books or experts might say guys. Always tell your girlfriend or wife that you love her! Now don’t say it all the time because I think you can say it so much that it looses it’s meaning but I’ve read many articles that say that guys should never say “I Love You” for the first 6 months or even a year of a relationship. That’s just goofy and ridiculous.
Anyhoo, it’s just sad to have her go for so long but we’ll be ok and manage… I leave you all with a song that I feel fits very well for the situation
quote:
“Beautiful Thing” by Sister Hazel
Well I’ll follow you wherever
When you lead me by my nose
On another big adventure- I suppose
Then you lay me down in clover
With their petals on my back
I should make some time
To do more things like that…Pre chorus/chorus
Won’t you sing to me your poetry,
Won’t you take me to your home,
Won’t you be for me forever
So I’ll never be alone
And just one thing…
If you’re my queen…
Then it’s a beautiful thing…Well I’m buried in my bedroom
Under fourteen feet of clothes
I could drown in all this clutter I supposeBut then you’re standing in my doorway
With a suitcase on your back
And it blows my mind
When you do things like thatPre chorus/ chorus
Yeah, reminding me
Well I might be poor
But summers free…
For me, I didn’t know I was sleepingPre chorus/ chorus
