the beginning of everything else

I spent months in Paris. Drank red wine in the morning, drank even more in the afternoon. C taught me how to make french pastries and so that was what we did. For hours we then sat on the roof, sipping red wine while we ate it all up. On Sundays we traded the red for bubbles and gave the sweets away to the neighbours boy. It was comfortable, life weren't too hard at that time.. 

Then at some point we got restless, needed more. We left the apartment and started wandering the streets. We found secret after parties, slept in public places, made love at a club and discovered where to go when nothing else welcomes you. At this time, there were only two of us left. He'd gone back home, had some things to take care of. He told me to keep on living my summer dream and hold onto it as long as it lasted. Then come back home. Well, that was harder than I thought it'd be..

  1. how are you babe? i missed your writing so much and in my mind your writing made summer come back, all over a sudden, and i am somewhere on the roof with you, or out there at the hidden afterparties...my late summer went weird too. in a good way. but now i do feel the chill.
    close your eyes, drink pink champagne, smell spring,

  2. your summer sounds lovely, it sounds like one i had a long time ago... not Paris, but romanticized ideals and dreams... i hope you being home gets easier, because i remember what it was like to come back from it all.

  5. Moments when life aren't too hard only make the moments when it is that much worse.
