I was standing in a field in my wellies watching one of our greatest folk musicians on my own. Friends had wandered off elsewhere, interested in other things. Surrounded by people, noise and hills, I was happy. I turned to share this music, this moment: my pleasure, my thoughts, my smile, my tapping feet.
It was you I thought of.
It was you who would have loved this. It was you who understood and shared the passions of my inner geek.
Sometimes, I miss you. I miss your friendship and joy in simple things.
Instead, I chatted to a random stranger.
Random stranger chatting is always a good way of shifting focus :)
ReplyDeleteFunny how happy times can shine a spotlight on the people that are missing. The stranger was pleasant at least!
