The New Date

The date has been changed.  4 more weeks.  I have accepted it.  Even if I am devastated that I am not leaving on Monday.  But all of this has happened for yet another reason.  I had no control over it happening.  I booked my ticket back in May using my heart.  I felt that my passport would come in time, because everything else is going so swimmingly in my life.  I am aware that 4 weeks is not that long.  But once you have your hopes up for one thing and then all of a sudden you feel as if some just popped your balloon at a fair(did I use this metaphor in the last post, oh well it works here too).   

Do you know what it feels like when your heart belongs somewhere else?  Amidst my loving family around me, I end up feeling guilty of how strongly I feel about another place.  I am no longer going to hold my love back.  I can't help how a place called Florence, makes me feel.  Words that come to mind: Confidence, Perseverance, Hope, Belonging, Compassion, Passion.  Anything seems possible among the cobblestones of the valley under the brutally hot, Tuscan sun.   How can one place allow me to explore myself without any reservation?  As most of my close friends know, once you bring up one thing about Italy, you CANNOT shut me up.  I actually met up with a high school friend a few months ago and after I spilled my heart about the Florence excursions I have had(hey she asked), I never heard from her again.

Needless to say, I talk way too much about my love.  I guess that is what happens when you fall in love.  You constantly talk about it, you express the love you have about every aspect of your love.  What makes you smile, what you need to work on, what you enjoy about the time spent together.

You want to tell people 'look how much love this city has given to me', 'look how much I have grown with this city'.  I love to tell the love story of our love and how it began.  It is a very unique story.  Some other time...

I have been dating my love, Firenze, for 8 years now.  I have now finally, fully committing myself to you, amore mio.  I think it is about time we started talking about moving in together.  July 23rd will be the first day of our new life together, let's grow together ok?

4 more weeks until I am in your arms again...it shall fly by, I promise you. 

Ci vediamo prestissimo!  Non vedo l'ora a rivederti di nuovo!  Sei mio amore per sempre!


a presto amici!
