Absence…I have always felt there was two “Schools of thought” on the subject. There is one that says “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Then there is another that says “Out of sight, out of mind.” They seem totally opposite one from another and yet even in my own life I have known each one of them to be true. The funny thing is, I have never been able to determine what will make one true in one case and then make the other true in another. It has always been a mystery to me. Perhaps it just depends on which one we WANT to be true? Or perhaps it has something to do with my friend TIME. Perhaps SHE is the one, in the end that makes us forget?
If she IS responsible for making us forget…well perhaps that is a good thing and she is doing us a service. If it was something or someone that hurt us, then she would help us to forget them by putting them out of our minds. If it was something or someone that we loved…well…being away from them is another kind of pain…almost worst than the first, so once again, she has done us a favor. In any case, I am hoping that the few hours that we must be separated will not be enough for her to work her “magic”. Did I tell you that she REALLY does not like me? (giggles) I am certain that the time apart will be healthy. I know we spend an enormous amount of time together, more than most people I know. I am grateful for every moment, love. Thank you. I know that you do not HAVE to spend that time with me. I know you do it because you want to…and that is the way it should always be. It should never be done out of obligation or duty.
I am not foolish enough to think that I will be attached to your thigh forever (although the thought of that IS kinda nice!) I have spent the larger part of my life finding ways to occupy my time alone. This will give me time to employ that expertise once again. And each evening when we come together, we will be glad to see one another and ready to devote ourselves to one another during that time.
I love you, my prince. My thoughts are with you. I will not forget that you love me! Enjoy your Holiday, love…Bis zum nächsten Mal…
Für immer…El
