Like every boy who meets a girl it doesn’t always go according to plan. I have much in my life but I envy those who have found the perfect partner. Not a moment goes by when I wonder the what is and what could have been. I have made some very difficult decisions, many cups of tea have been drunk pondering over the past and future that I often forget where I am now.

I’ve seen many relationships are torrential and as fiery that stand the test of time. Perhaps their secret is the fire, or perhaps that they always resolve their differences because they fear any other conclusion; loneliness is an uncomfortable companion. I would know, it has been my shadow for many years now. In a bitter irony it is something I fear the least.
