A house is just a house.. Home, is where you are.. where my heart is..
We had the talk this morning. How it started was totally unexpected and caught me by surprise. But I figured it was time, therefore I let it out in the open. I kept waiting for a better time, a more appropriate moment to bring it up, but that opportunity never came. When my companion approached that subject, I saw no reason to dodge the question anymore. So now he knows. I’m finally relieved.
It was never planned. Oftentimes it was just a longer gaze into each other’s eyes. And I would sense immediately what’s on his mind. It happened again earlier today..
“What are you thinking?” Still, I’d ask.
“You know.. about the future..” my companion said, with a slight sadness in his eyes.
We’ve always known that it would be tough as we grow older together. But it doesn’t reduce the sense of helplessness and the senseless loneliness that we both feel. As always, instead of saying anything, I held him tight in my arms and breathed in his scent..
