One step forward one step back.

This a.m. I woke up feeling somehow a little closer to W. I had my morning shower, and thought perhaps I should express these feelings to her. I think about it. Am I going through the *I'll do anything / say anything to save my marriage* phase? $crew it, I'll say what I feel, even if it is risky.

I go upstairs to give W a good morning kiss. Complain complain complain. I don't know how someone can wake up in that frame of mind. So that brought me quickly back into reality. All feelings of closeness were quashed in one fell swoop, before I expressed them. (thank goodness)

Is it really one step back or actually two steps back? Anyway back to reality.

Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage which we did not take, towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.
