Monotony


I stand at the side of my bed as i always do when i am getting dressed. The air is still warm in my bedroom after a night of sleep. I pull off my tracksuit bottoms and the cold air hits me suddenly out of nowhere. I stand for a moment in my hoodie and my underwear with my arms wrapped around my body. I turn,almost in slow motion and pick up the jeans from the bottom of my bed, lying exactly where a threw them last night. I change into them quickly. I rummage through my basket of tee shirts and pull out one which i bought in Mexico. I pull it on over my sleepy head,it fits better than it did last week, all my work at the gym is paying off, success.
I stand on one foot surprised at my ability to balance so early in the morning as i put on two pairs of socks to protect my little feet from the frosty conditions outside. I switch off my bedside light and i am ready to leave my safe haven, my bedroom, which i will soon share with you.
I sweep my coat up off the end of my bed and close the door behind me. my day has officially begun the same way that it always do in a monotonous sequence of monotonous events.
The monotony continues as i wait for my bus, my scarf pulled up around my lips, my ipod playing in my ears, my coat pulled around my tightly.
Finally the bus arrives and i take my seat among the other students who are making their own ways through their very own monotonous process!
on the bus my head is filled with many different thoughts. An airport bus passes and i begin to think about the huge entity which is the airport. In that building we are all in transit. Individually some of us have found our path in life our place to be but for some of us we are in transit, still figuring out our lives. I always love the feeling in an airport of being in transit, having that in common with every other person there, and then i think of you. My heart stands still for just a moment. You are the break in my monotony, you are the thing that makes me different to every single other person on the bus, in the airport, anywhere! Loving you is an experience which changes my day and has changed my life.
As i step off the bus the cold air as before hits me once again. i wander aimlessly for a few minuets dazed slightly by the brightness of the crisp day and by the bitter coldness which originates from the frost all around me. I remind myself to put one foot in front of the other, my head is consumed with thoughts of you.
Today will continue as every Wednesday does, history at ten, a two hour gap, English at 1 and history again at 2, a frantic rush to my bus and then home.
but one thing about Wednesday which changes every week is that my love for a certain person intensifies, becomes stronger everyday. The passing of this monotonous day brings me one day closer to being with you for 5 weeks.
So i will go now and continue my daily routine with you in my heart and in my head.
Never forget how much i love you, keep shining baby, soon we will shine together.
Te Amo.
