I have been talking to my love, my dear sweet badger. I have been feeling a bit gloomy for the last couple of days but a few words with my darling and I am back on the road. Yes, we have a headstart for happiness.
I felt insecure because we lost contact last night and my Edgar Allan Poe/Rod Serling imagination went into overdrive wondering what he was doing. Now he’s explained the difficulties he was having I’ve been able to heave a big sigh as well as kicking myself up the bum for being oversensitive.
I know he loves me, and he knows I love him. Our love for each other is plain for all to see and it grows ever deeper. He is quite simply the best thing that has ever happened to me or my world. But this in itself has led a feeling of vague dread, fear, worry that this good thing I have found isn’t going to last. My love has done nothing to engender this emotion or said anything which could be interpreted as a desire to run away from me (he has said quite the opposite in fact). No, this feeling has come about because quite simply I can’t believe my luck and my subconscious is therefore busy ferreting around for things to worry about. It can’t find any concrete evidence of my darling’s desire to flee the relationship, so it just plants this horrible grey, vagueness in my head and says, “feel this melancholy, and by the way, tough luck if you don’t like it”.
Now we’ve spoken, he’s reassured me in his unique and somewhat clumsy way, and I am once again sailing above the clouds. I will see my love tomorrow and life will surely be grand.
