FIRSTS

IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE

WE'RE NOT STRANGERS, JUST OLD FRIENDS WHO HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN A WHILE

WE'RE A SPECIAL TWO, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING

WE MAKE EACH OTHER SMILE 

YOU AND ME

WE MAKE EACH OTHER LAUGH

WE ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER, AND INSPIRE EACH OTHER

HOPEFULLY IN ALL THE TIME WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER WE'VE CHANGED

BECOME MORE INSPIRING, SUPPORTIVE, AND CREATIVE

MADE EACH OTHERS LIVES A LITTLE MORE FUN, AND EACH DAY A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING

THE YOU AND ME I AM TALKING ABOUT IS MY BLOG AND ME

BUT ALSO YOU.... YES YOU READING THIS RIGHT NOW.

I MAY KNOW YOU PERSONALLY, I MAY NOT, 
BUT THE MOMENTS SHARED ON THIS ONLINE JOURNAL/SCRAP BOOK OF SORTS 
MEAN WE KNOW EACH OTHER MORE THAN WE CAN IMAGINE

WITH YOU I HAVE SHARED HAPPINESS, SADNESS, DESPAIR, LOSS AND GAIN

YOU HAVE SHARED WHAT INSPIRES ME, WHAT MAKES ME LAUGH, 
THE TUNES THAT TOUCH MY HEART AND MY DANCING FEET, 
AND THE WAY IN WHICH I LOVE ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.

THERE ARE MESSAGES AMONGST MY POSTS, SECRET CODES FOR SPECIAL SOMEONES. 

AN ACE OF HEARTS, A DUSTY ROAD, A COCONUT OR TWO.

THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE I 
REALISED JUST THE OTHER DAY THAT IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 4 YEARS SINCE WE BECAME FRIENDS.

BOTH MY BLOG AND I, AND YOU AND I.

AND ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A FIRST.

A FIRST POST. A FIRST SECRET MESSAGE, A FIRST TUNE POSTED AND A FIRST FOLLOWER.

IN CELEBRATION OF FIRSTS, ENJOY THE BELOW VIDEO WHERE TWO STRANGERS SHARE A FIRST KISS.

IT IS REMARKABLE WHAT HAPPENS. THE INTERACTIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND IT MADE ME THINK BACK.

THE FIRST KISSES THAT COUNT. YOU NEVER FORGET THEM. 

BE IT ON THE FIRST DATE, ON A DANCE FLOOR,  SOBER OR.... NOT SO SOBER.

WATCHING A CITY PASS YOU BY, AT A FRIENDS FAREWELL, AS YOU WALK IN THE RAIN, OR WAIT IN LINE FOR MESSINA.

YOU DON'T FORGET.

'TRUST ME'
