Love sits and waits
Inside the empty void of the heart
Waiting for that special moment
That will light the spark
The one special person
That will take the place
Of the hurt in a heart
That will put a glow on a face
The one special touch
That will make you want to cry
And the one special kiss
That won't let you say goodbye
I'm sitting here, waiting
For that one moment in time
When I will find my true love
Who will say to me, "You are mine"
For that touch and that kiss
That will never, ever end
For that one day I'm waiting for
When I say "I do" to my life-long best friend
So, I sit here waiting
If my dreams will come true
For, in every dream I dream
My "one special person" is you

I like my body....
I like my body when it is with your body.
It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
I like your body. I like what it does, I like its hows.
I like to feel the spine of your body and its bones,
and the trembling-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
I like,, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big Love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you quite so new

Amy Winehouse - Our Day Will Come - Ever the optimist!
Amy Winehouse - Our Day Will Come.mp3 - Hulk Share - Easy way to share your files
There is no video as yet and this song is yet to be realesed but already i think it is fabulous...
Our day will come (Our day will come)
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
I love you so
And you love me
Our day will come (Our day will come)
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile
Our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come
[Instrumental break]

Destination - Simple town.
Well, its been a while since i wrote here... So much going on in my head and around it i couldn't get any words out at all. Even my book came to a stand-still!
So i am back... today with an insight into those god awful things we on here like to call "Buses"
I had been feeling pretty good even after trying out new bus runs and them literally going nowhere.
Then a number of things occurred, an anniversary i didn't want to remember came (and i remembered) and those buses that didn't go anywhere only tried to get back on the route!!
Now after a few weeks of contending with this, and i have to say, it got me down quite a bit - there was a lot of cake eaten and even more wine consumed, not to mention a number of tears shed but i am slowly but surely coming back. With more lessons learned and now to be shared.
I have come across three main types of buses - neither of which are good candidates for that long distance road trip (although you desperately want them to be)
The one stop shop
You cant actually fault this bus. There is no false pretense. No pretending. No false hope. Where they want to go is laid out very clearly in back and white. They have one destination in mind and they do not want to go any further.
Destination Panties
This is all well and good, if you too only want to go to this destination.
However, sometimes you can have too many buses only wanting to take you to this destination and then you start to think "What is wrong with me? Why am i only good for this one thing? Why do i not deserve the road trip, the long distance bus?
What i have also found from the majority of my girlfriends and guy friends for this scenario, is in fact they both start off wanting the same destination and then one half of passengers decide they want to go further into the journey. This sometimes leads onto the "Destination Dodger" In other cases you can in fact get complete honesty, and if this happens, be thankful. You both signed up to the same journey at the end of the day.
The destination dodger
This bus starts off great. There in front of you is a small map, it outlines where you are going and you get on this bus because its where you want to go.
However, as your journey gets further in it starts to go off course. You ask what's happening but it still carries on going off in another direction. Then it'll go back on its correct course, only to then divert again later!
What we are dealing with here is buses with no balls!
I wont call them liars as i feel that is a strong word and for all we know (as ever the optimist) there may be a little bit of truth in what they say, or they may actually WANT to carry out and go through with what they have said.
"I'll call you when i get back from my trip away" = SIX WEEKS later (the trip ended a day after the call) another call. "Hey, how you doing, so when shall we go for dinner? How about Sunday, cosy pub, Roast Beef and Yorkshire puddings? OK, I'll call you Sunday morning and let you know where i booked" = Sunday morning text message - Sorry, somethings come up, can i call you tonight and we'll re-arrange for in the week"
OR
"Do you fancy the movies tomorrow night? Cool, you check times and let me know" = Girl checks times, text's with all relevant information only to hear NOTHING! Are you out tonight? Great, I'll text you later when i get out and we can meet for a drink = No text and completely ignored when you do finally see them!
THEN, there's the classic
This one follows through with the route for quite sometime. Sometimes it shows signs of diverting but never does. Until you realise as much as your still heading in what seems to be the right direction its down a totally different road. They're now, so to speak "Leading you down the garden path"
You put up with it for a while until it becomes too much and you decide to confront the driver and BANG. Your bus crashes. Everything they said, everything they did, the route you were both so happily on was in fact NOT the road you had thought.
What i do not understand here is "Why?"
Why say things that your not going to follow through with? Why suggest something if in fact you have no intention of following it through. Why waste your own time, never mind someone else's?
Finally we have which could be the worse one
Engine Failure
The bus is there. It has the right destination. It looks fabulous. You like how it seems.
As you approach the bus it is welcoming. It wants you to get on, so that's what you do. You sit and marvel at how unbelievably amazing it is. The bus is your pod and you are the pea.
You sit on the bus for quite some time. Enjoying every second of it. This is the greatest bus EVER. You could easily fall in love with this bus.
Then you realise. The bus isn't going anywhere. The map shows your starting point. It shows that it is a long distance route, but there are no directions. No roads to wind through. No bumps to overcome.
This bus has become your best friend. Your confidant. Yet for whatever reason, and there is so many in this case, sometimes it is as simple (even if it is a bit harsh) as that you find everything about the bus fantastic apart from the exterior. Yes, this is a shallow reason but its animal instinct, you NEED to want to literally jump on the bus!
How can this be, how can the gods of fate, love and destiny throw this bus into your equation?
After you have dealt with all the other buses, finally you think you have found "The One" This is what you want - isn't it?
In fact the only place your going to go, is back home. The bus will always be there for you but unfortunately will never BE THERE for you....
Or will it?
If you have any answers, logical explanations. Whether your a girl or a boy, then do comment. Please help everyone out there that may read this and think "Damn, yes, thats so right!"

Twinings Gets You Back To You
Wherever you will go...
For me this advert alone shows what the song is trying to get across.
So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a greater wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way, way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go
If you want to hear the whole song go to:

The Calling were good. This is just so calming and mellow - beautiful.

Time To Say Goodbye Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman
This song is very influential to me and reminds me a lot of my time in Venice. So when it came on the radio as i was re-writing my first chapter i thought it a good omen! A beautiful song, worth a listen if you aren't familiar.

What's more important: The beginning the middle or the end?
As you already know if you have been following me on here i am in the process in writing a book.
So when i came across the following articles it made me think....
http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/the-best-100-opening-lines-from-books
Do you capture someones attention with the first line of your book?
In this list there is everything from Matilda to The Clockwork Orange. I have read possibly a third of this list.
Then i went from there to the next link which was....
http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/literature-sex-scenes
What does the sex scene in your book say about you? I knew "Lady Chatterleys Lover" would be in here, but "Journey" by Tony Blair. Really?
My book currently has five completed chapters and the sixth is underway. Chapter five was a sex scene and was possibly the hardest thing to write as i didn't want to offend people but i did want to turn them on!
I have shamefully not read any on this list but i will be going out to buy a selection this weekend. Tony's may not be on that list, but then who knows!
Finally i got to....
http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/the-best-100-closing-lines-from-books
Now out of this list i have probably read about two thirds.
Is this because i judge a book, not by its cover but by its last line?
The way i see it, if i read the last sentence first and i remember that sentence when i read it at the end of the book then the book hasn't been that good. I haven't been lunged into the book, gotten lost in its words and fallen in love with its characters. However, if i get to the end and i have totally forgotten then i have loved the book and i may not have realised it at the time but i have gotten into it in a deep way. The only way you should get into a good book.
So, i will endeavour to make my opening line a great one, read some amazing sex scenes, compare and possibly edit my own and ensure that my closing line is not memorable!
I believe that if i conquer that, all the rest will just fall into place.
