Alex

Having Alex away for so long really makes me realise how much time I spend with him, both actually and virtually, and how much I appreciate his company and his perspective. In a normal week I'd probably see him Tuesday, Thursday and then from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. On the days I didn't see him in the flesh I'd probably speak to him on the phone. He's my sounding board - I can ramble about anything I happen to be thinking about and he'll help me to make it clear what I feel, spot places where I've been illogical or unfair, joke with me or take me seriously as appropriate. And just being with him is so pleasant - I really cherished our evenings in with Buffy and Angel. I would cook, or if the bus was late we'd get takeout, and then we just snuggled up together on the sofa to watch and chat about the shows. I think we're going to try to work through the backlog of movies I haven't seen (Alien for example) which should be really good. Just to sit around together reading, occasionally commenting getting up to get drinks or whatever is so relaxing. And of course, there's the hugs. I had to hug my Bagpuss as substitute this morning :(

I guess what I'm saying is that he's a great boyfriend. Normally, because he's around whenever I want I have a tendency to want even more and forget how much I have but now I remember that actually, he's always there for me. And he loves me. Even this week we've texted almost every day. I am very lucky indeed.

"When I'm with you
I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world.
Without you
I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love
With you"

Rather be in Love, Michelle Branch

Wait a second... You haven't seen 'Alien'?

You're dumped.
