I don’t want you to suspect it when I am there. I am trying so hard to make it a surprise. I don’t want you to psychically predict it. I want to simply appear and make you smile.
I’m not going to be showing off anything (Page of Pentacles), and neither of us are going to over-share in the initial conversations (Queen and King of Cups, reversed). We will be somewhat cautious in that first meeting. But there will be lots of heart flutters and giddyness underneath.
But I’m not going to be surprised — Tower, reversed. I’m going to sense it.
At least act surprised, please, for my sake.
LOL… Okay.

I will be there when it’s not too busy. I will be there when we can have a quiet place to talk. We will talk honestly and openly. We will catch up on so many things.
Yes, Homeland. I won’t be surprising you anywhere else. You don’t have to worry about me “popping up out of nowhere” if you do go travelling in 2025.
I will come find you, right where you are.
Good. Because I had been hesitating about 2025 plans and now I’m going to just shrug it all off…
Have you booked flights?
Not yet…
When will you book?
I don’t know…
Doesn’t matter, then. I’ll come find you.
I know you will…
What else would you like to tell me?
Well, I wouldn’t mind if you just showed up with… my best friend… She is a safe space, to me. And we just randomly catch up for coffees. In nice, quiet places. So, I think that makes more sense than you showing up… anywhere else. Randomly…
Okay. When do you want this? Daytime? Night time?
Ugh… day time… because… it’s initially as friends… right?
Okay…?
Let’s be real. Face to face — we catch up as friends FIRST.
Okay?
Can’t do anything without that friendship foundation.
Yes, I agree.
I think we even need, like, 3 days. Minimum. After that first friendship catch up. Like, really take some time to reflect on the human being we just re-met. In real life. Not on a screen. Not social media. Not via word of mouth or any other friends’ opinions.
Okay…? I’m slightly confused…
The reality of possibilities: we catch up as friends. And we see each other. And then, one likes the other, the other realises they don’t? They have a bubble burst. It’s not how it was imagined… there is that possibility. So there needs to be a time to reflect. And we have to be brave enough to face each other in our authentic reality, whether end-of-2024 or 2025… where we’re at?
And if I’m still head over heels in love with you?
Then just say that! After 3 days…
What if I need to leave after 3 days? What if I only had 4 days of pure free time?
That’s okay. I can wait for however many weeks, however many months to take it to the next step. And every time it’s going to feel that way. A connection, a re-connection, and then, if you need to go away, you go away. And then, we keep in touch, and then, we re-connect.
Take your time in those 3 days. Enjoy the city and surrounds. Go sight-seeing. Go spend time in nature. Do whatever else that sparks your curiosity and sense of adventure. It’s your holiday, not mine. And if we lived in the same city, 3 days is not unrealistic to take some time to reflect. It’s the human capacity for gradually realising whether feelings are real or not after an initial meeting — even as friends.
You’re always making me wait…
No I’m not. It’s really obvious that I like you a lot more already, this time around.
Is it?
YES!!!
Okay, 3 days. I’ll try to get 2 weeks off.
No you won’t. You don’t have that luxury… LOL
5 days.
Maybe? I don’t know… There’s still technology, you know. We can FaceTime… etc…
It’s not the same.
I know… but it’s good to have someone to miss. If we are able to know for sure, I think that would be even more comforting.
I don’t want to wait 3 days. I’ll wait 3 hours…
These are just words on a blog page. Who the fuck knows what’s really going to happen in real life? LOL
