Thanks GEL!

I too found the movie slow, and a bit strange. I felt some pangs in a few scenes.

No question in my mind that "Hitchhiker's Guide.." was more to my tastes.

This pulling back was a long time coming, and it took a great deal of pain to realize that I was approaching the whole thing with the wrong mindset. W is and will be the love of my life, and I made a vow to her to accept, love, cherish and forsake all others for her. I am not ready to toss my vows into the blazing inferno she has ignited. Nor am I willing to wait here by the fire with hopes of coming out unscathed. It is clear that there are no painless solutions to my delimma, so I must chose the course that leaves me on the path to wholeness. I must remember that the things she is doing are outside of my being, and I should not let them hurt me.

I am now getting ready for my massage. I squeezed an appt in, just in time. A good way to spend my last day before "the job". (especially since one of the first questions was "you've got a good back, right?")

I shall miss loving you.

I shall miss the
Comfort
of your embrace.

I shall miss the
Loneliness
of waiting for your
calls that never came.

I shall miss the Joy
of our comings,
and the Pain
of your goings.

and,
after a time,
I shall miss

missing
loving
you.
