Cake. Chocolate.

-

 Confused, he set his coffee cup down in that shaky train table. The world passed by in blurs of green and blue and gray. A seagull flew alongside his window. It moved its wings carefully, like gentle caresses to the wind. The feathers were brilliantly white. The bird took a long look at Eric through the window before heading in a different direction, towards the hill with the large pines. The hill was teeming with dark green trees. However nestled within its nest you could make out little houses. Littered all over. It was a village of elves hiding in the hill. 

Eric wondered if Lilly remembers that kiss fondly. It was lightning and thunder. And all in that little break room at the back of the cubicle farm.

“I can’t believe you got that new job so far away, who’s going to distract us now?” 

“Yeah right, I’m sure this good bye cake is more like a celebration” he said as he took the last bite of his chocolate cake. It was a big piece but he wanted to be done with it  the cake was rich, too rich for his taste. It had about 4 layers of different chocolate textures, sweet as honey and thicker still.

“I wish I could go with you” as she walked, her hips bobbed rhythmically. An enchanted Eric didn’t realize she walked up to him until he could smell Lilly’s rose and lilac shampoo. 

“You got a little chocolate on your lip”. Then she put her hand on his shoulder as she got closer to his face. Eric thought she wanted a closer look, afraid she would see some flaw he stood frozen. He felt her hand on his body. He could feel every beautiful finger, he could sense her nails. He imagined what it’s like if they held hands. Too late now. He was moving away. To another city. Far from ever telling her he liked her. 

She didn’t stop to look. She kissed him. Her lips landed more a side of his lips. They both had their lips lock into each other. It was playful and cute and it sent an explosion of emotions and nerve activations and thoughts and everything all at once to each other. 

“I knew you’d be sweet as chocolate” She said as she pulled away and wiped her lower lip. Her smile was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. She walked away from the room but turned around right at the door “i wish i could go with you, truly. Good luck”. 

By the time Eric could respond he was in the train hours and days away, looking at birds and hills.

mega social weekend

 i feel extremely sleepy. all of the nights of this weekend i've been too tired to write. tonight included, so i'll be brief. maybe i should stop writing my daily things. we'll see. saturday: early morning i was invited by m and wu to go bouldering. it was fun. it had been a long time since i had tried it. m has improved a lot in the time since the first time we went and she was climbing probably at almost r level. it was fun because it meant she could push me to do/try certain problems i wouldn't otherwise. right now i feel that i may have overdone it just a tiny bit because 50% of my body aches whenever i move. but it's fun. and hopefully this means i'm a little stronger now.  in the afternoon i met with r and j for a nice lunch and cocktail hour. i'll be damned if it wasn't fun. i'm really happy these people are into this because there was something missing from my life after cy left and i just found out what it was: high end libations and food. i...

a need to sober up my mind

 25000 steps today.  Morning: woke up and pretty much had to meet a r for fancy coffee. I felt a little weird because she had to pick me up to get to the place. i don't like that because i feel like it makes people less inclined to hang out with me if they think they have to pick me up. i offered to meet her there but she refused. the ride itself was fun. i acted as the navigator using her phone while she listened to evermore songs. the coffee shop was pretty much what you'd expect. it was small with little wooden tables along the wall and a chalk board behind the counter. they also had some pastries and i couldn't help but to buy one. we got some fancy coffee with 'tajin' in it.  unknown time: We went to a new park. we walked in the snow and talked. a little bit of everything. i told her about her super leggings. gosh how embarrassing haha. i brought up cy. i guess she's been on my mind lately. i don't know why. i even dreamed with her last night. in my dre...

 song of the moment:  these days i've been feeling that pain in your heart of being in love, or being heart broken, or starting something monumental in your life. the problem is that i don't know why. it strikes the hardest when i look at the newly growing leaves.  i feel like i'm floating through, engrossed in impassioned desire, the days and nothing can anchor me. the sun, the rain, the clouds, the sunset, daydreams of kisses and hugs and embraces, all these things speeding my heart and creating a pain of a black hole in my chest. with the elation of love being felt there's the dread that accompanies it. a solitude that is felt the strongest when i'm sitting and the shadows of the night creep up. i've been on three dates now and they all have been lacking. and not because the people are not interesting or nice, but there's just no...chemistry. maybe that's what has me so distraught. i want to feel in love but i can't fulfill it. i think i may give ...
