I walk through the city as it wakes,
as it stretches is arms and rubs it's eyes,
during that magical hours when its still, innocent, tranquil.
I get to the lake front and let the sun wash over me,
I open my arms, and tilt my head back,
God is djing and my iPod plays the soundtrack to my thoughts,
I realise what it is I am looking for as I walk along the water,
A connection,
Someone who walking beside me,
listening to their soundtrack,
not talking, not holding hands, just being there,
shares that experience with me.
And those two individual experiences are altered,
changed,
shared.
And that's what I'm looking for in life,
that same shared experience
of two individual experiences
with someone
not subject to any rules.
All the rest is details.

I hope you find it.

You should get Xin/ Barbara to sign you up for MySingleFriend before you go really mad.

It’s a lot easier to relate to what you mean in a post like this, as opposed to the previous one. It’s in the dropping of the details; the simplicity of just sharing this life.
I think the second photo speaks volumes. I’m mentally willing the right second figure to enter that frame with you!
You deserve all of these things ten times over Ade x

Nice poetry dude, I’ve never read a poem with the word “iPod” in it before.
And yeah, all the rest really is details. Sharing something, anything, everything with someone (emphasis on the one) is what love is all about, I feel.
Btw, I can almost-but-not-quite see the sweat on you in the second one from sprinting away from the camera after setting the timer. The result is one of your best photos, that I’ve seen.
