Syd-ney

The days past somewhat quickly after that.

The boy was wrapping up things in Adelaide and the girl was busy saving lives.

Amongst all this the busy pair will found time to talk on line at nights, mostly on msn.

The boy would make up lame excuses to stay up, the girl would oblige with asking for just 5 mins more of his time.

This was all building up to a long planned trip to Sydney for the girl to see her visiting family.

The told himself he wasn't going to miss her, that he had plans of his own, life was to return to its happy equlibrium....

but miss her he did...

He got a text telling him he was precious. It made his whole day.

The girl had made plans to see the phantom of the opera, and he sang the first verse of the music of the night to her.

That made her smile.

Until it was after the musical.

The boy was having dinner with a friend.

When the girl rang up to tell him.

She was thinking about him all the time. And she didn't like it.

She felt compressed and stressed out.

She told him to leave her alone.

The boy went back to his dinner and order sake.

He spent the rest of the dinner drinking the warm brew trying to drown those stinging words.

The next morning he pulled himself into a conference room and called her.

her cheery voice picked up the phone Good morning!

Once again, like nothing had happened.

Look, I've been thinking about what you said last night, and I went through my conduct for the last weeks and really don' t think I've done anything wrong.

I've given you as much space as you need and wanted, I've done everything you've requested and more. I think you'll agree that's a fair statement?

The Girl mumbles an apology of sorts... and the conversation carries on for a little while.

The boy puts the phone down, wondering if he how many more times he would have to go through something like this.

~~~

That night the boy had gone night shopping and was driving home when the phone buzzed... a text was received.

The girl was compressed... there was family conflict in sydney and she was upset.

He pulled the car over and tried to call her.

She messaged him telling him to go away.

He left her a massage on her voice mail, singing to her that God was able.

He went home that night feeling like she had gone away to a far far place and was not going to be coming back.

The boy cried out to his God, pleading that the girl would return.

Once again, he felt that she had slipped away from him.
