The finer moments ...

“I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I’d love you to love me
I’m beggin’ you to beg me”
-I Want You To Want Me by Letters To Cleo

You know that feeling, when you get a twinge inside because you’re thinking about someone you really miss. That gentle tug at your heart strings. Then depending on who that person is, the feeling can take a turn for the worst…or maybe not. If it’s that “I-miss-you-like-crazy-I-want-you-here” kind of miss it can be painful, bittersweet (sometimes). But if it’s a simple “do-you-remember-when-we …?-that-was-fun” kind of miss its sweet and happy and you smile as you recount an old memory. The latter I love, the former I loathe. Haha. But they are all part of the ebbs and flows of life right? People move in and out of your life, some waddle back in, some rest at the shore waiting, some get lost at sea…

So today I was at my computer working away when I get an unsuspected message from a friend who moved away … “Hi Naila. I miss you. That’s it.”

Girly awwwwww *in unison*

And I had just been talking about him the night before, talking about him to a new friend. And get this, as I wrote this in the library after a much needed coffee break, I get to sneak in on a conversation he’s having with another friend outside and I get to hear his voice and actually say “hello”. Ahhh the finer moments of life.
 

When I was a kid my grandmother would tell me all these superstitious, tell-tale signs of when people were thinking negative thoughts about you (you’d choke) or if they were cursing you out loud (you’d bite your tongue). But never did she say what bodily mishap meant someone was thinking nice thoughts about me.

Happy Tuesday - the sun is smiling today, maybe you should too! :)

P.S. I wrote this a few weeks ago... then decided to dig it up and brush it off a little for today :)
