Now I'm actually ahead of schedule. This one just fell out of the trees. I could wait until tomorrow, but I'm a big fan of instant gratification! Plus this weekend is going to be a busy one.....as will the next.....and so on...and so on.....and so on....
Anyway, this week's entry is called "When Are You Coming Home". It's a short but sweet little number. It's for anyone who's ever been in love and missed their loved one. Either they left, like "see you later" or they're gone, like "see you in a couple of days".
Here's the funny thing. I spent seven or eight years (can't remember) being alone. I wasn't stranded on a deserted island. I wasn't locked away...just not "with anyone". I got used to sleeping alone. I enjoyed going out to eat by myself. I could spend hours without speaking to anyone and be very happy with that. Of course, I was a bartender/drunk/drug addict/party whore/ but if I wasn't doing that....I was pretty much by myself. My roommates worked during the day and I liked being alone. You really get used to it after a while.
But, then a relationship appears. All of a sudden you're doing things with some one else....and really enjoying it. The bed gets more crowded, but you don't care. You welcome it. No longer can you sit right in the middle of the couch, but you're happy to sit to the side. Meals are no longer a choice, they're a discussion. But you enjoy the time before the meal and the "what do you want" discussion (OK..sometimes that can be tedious...but I could eat at the same five places for the rest of time) as much as the eating and the conversation during the meal.
You're life is no longer yours, it's your and some one else's. It's a very cool thing. After a while, it becomes your life. You can no longer separate the two lives. Then, one day and some days you're back on your own again. Hopefully, for you, it's temporary. The bed got too big. The couch feels weird without some one else on it. Dinner alone gets boring. The house seems bigger and quieter. And you begin to miss the life you've been living. A life made for two.
Well, that's where this songs was born. Oddly enough, my house is never quiet. The kids see to that.
But...enough of my yackin'....let's boogie!
