Evening Tide cont ... (c) ...

I see how things may be for you, how you may interpret situations. I guess your perspective is of a person looking in from the outside of the circle, I have that ability, you do, I have to, I have to have eyes on the back of my head, I''ve become adept in the art of surveillance without appearing to be surveying, it's a necessity in my business. What else is essential for you to survive the business you're In. Fortitude, magnanimity, a particular way of assessing difficult situations without losing my cool, my equilibrium, but if you feel betrayed by someone how do you manage that. I guess with a certain amount of aplomb, it's essential. Where do we fit in ... as we are, we touch base, keep in touch, be patient with one another, understand each other's requirements, bring honesty, those are important pathways to maintaining a good relationship with someone we care about and don't wish to lose in a hurry, be good friends to each other, that's how. I remember when I first met you, you were this very nice sincere person, I knew we would get along just fine, I remember thinking when we first met, we two are going to be good friends, my instinct was to love you on the spot, well, that's fine with me. I love your honesty, I love more your encouraging support, it is second to none, my mum comes very much close to that, the way you encourage me, it makes me feel young and that I have everything to live for. Thank you for coming into my life just as I ached for a dear friend like you. Evening Tide ... People always say that, what do they say, that things are different when the boot is on the other foot, and always sunshine on their very green garden, and rosy coloured spectacles to be worn with care, a mantle of fur without the pain. I love you ... we're spending time together, like we're spending time apart, it's all so simple for you. I have experience on my side, but you're always saying I have more sense than you, but, seriously, just for a moment, let us be spontaneous, I would rather remain a little quiet. This is bliss, us, talking and him ... sitting, over there, thinking, later we water the garden, he to the lawn and trees, me to the flowers, everything in bloom, and that's how it is, on and anon. Life, by garden, love by chance, we meet someone we think we may like, luck on our side, it happens, you really think, yes, don't you, of course, why would I not, you've been disappointed in love, but I need not be tragic about it, the way I see things is that falling in love is merely an illness you catch when feeling at a low ebb, nothing more than that and if you meet a person who also catches you at a weak moment, it's that finite thing, an illness begins and if you're particularly unlucky you act on it, if you're lucky you won't. If you're very lucky you will walk away unscathed, and you will instead proceed to live your life free from unhealthy encumbrances of the heart, body, your emotions intact, peaceful as though you had never been caught off guard in that way at all. Evening Tide ... It is all a question of chance. A chance meeting, a half meeting at first, then the whole thing escalates into something quite unfathomable, you can't stop, you are on that runaway train called love, only it's love gone crazy, there is a thirst you have for each other only the two of you can quench, like a fever that's taken a grip, you drink water to quench your thirst, but your mouth and throat remain parched, so it is with love, what to do, you glow like a glow worm, and you wish the whole thing would stop so you can go back to being yourself again, no encumbrances of the heart or mind, nothing to hold you back, rid the fever, be happy to return to coolness instead. And most importantly, reduce the negativity that's entered your life to nothing by doing everything to block it and ignore it. Ifanyone is reading my website and Evening Tide in particular and you are a negative force, take the message and leave, you're not wanted here, and don't enter this ways again. All right.
