'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

Rememberance.... a three month break. I feel like so many words apply to today. A Walk to Remember. Not the teen star movie, but a real walk that I will really remember.

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

I guess I need those three months. To think; to lick my wounds; to recover; to re-discover myself and re-define my reactions. I think, maybe, mostly to lick my wounds though. I don't think I ever really admitted how changed I really was.

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

Today was the nicest day that I've had in a long while. There were times when it was a bit ackward.... a comment here or a silence there that seemed out of place. But mostly it just worked. Nothing like how it was, and nothing like I would've expected. But somehow it worked all around. The walk.... Lunch.... the Winery.

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame

In any case. Thank you. Right now it kind of seems like a gift of serendipity. The conversations just before running into you two days in a row. Neither of us having anything to do. My lunch plans being cancelled. And November Rain coming on the radio as I was driving home. A whole string of coincidences that led to a wonderful time.
I'm trying to think of a better way to put it.... but all that comes out is Thank You.

So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
