One month from today I will be aboard a flight, finally taking the long journey to meet you in Brazil. You know how much I am looking forward to seeing you and being once again at your side. The next month will be hard and long but at least with each day that passes, I will be one day closer to being with you there.
I went to a wonderful party yesterday evening to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. The atmosphere was perfect and as it was a 'Roaring Twenties/Flapper' theme, it was a stylish affair with everyone dressing the part. It was a nice counterpoint to the heavy feeling in Bangkok this week with the unstable political situation and all of us really enjoyed it. The only thing missing of course was you. I imagined how handsome you would be dressed in old style trousers, a crisp white shirt and perhaps suspenders or a hat to complete the picture. It would have been great fun to be there together with you, sipping champagne and enjoying oysters on the rooftop balcony overlooking one of Bangkok's few green spaces as the sun set.
I came home afterwards and was reading some of the 'Love Sonnets' by Pablo Neruda and found this one, which perfectly expresses my feeling at the moment as I am missing you here very much and counting the days til we are reunited.
"So I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Til then my windows ache."
