Another visit from Jeff has come and gone. My heart is heavy but I just keep breathing.

Somehow, these past 5 days have just been so great that they are helping me not be so upset. I almost cried during our kisses goodbye, but I held strong. And now, just thinking about how relaxing it was to have him here and how much fun we had is calming. It will be another two months before I see him again, but it doesn't seem so far away. I'll bet the time will fly by, with thanksgiving and christmas around the corner. I always get wrapped up in the holidays.... before either of us know it we will be together again.

He has a long drive ahead of him. I hope he has a safe and fast journey. It was probably more fun driving knowing he was coming HOME, than going back to that dull life on the ship. I hope the fresh memories keep his mind occupied. I know they are keeping me safe, at least for today.

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
