He said; who’s singing?


She said, It’s Van Morrison


He said; It’s nice.


She laughed.


He said, how do you like your eggs?


She said; I don’t like eggs.


He said; oh, I didn’t know that.


She said, there are a lot of things you don’t know.


He laughed.


She said: it’s important the first thing you put into your mouth each day.


He said; what was it yesterday?


She said; a peach.


He said; shall we go out and find some peaches?


She said; what have you got there?


He said; eggs, bread, coffee, orange juice.


She said; is the orange juice fresh?


He said; it’s fresh from this carton.


She said; then it’s not fresh is it?


He said; I’m learning.


She said; I think you have a lot to learn.


He said; who’s that singing now?


She laughed; it’s Van Morrison.


He laughed.


She said; what would you like t do now?


He didn’t answer.


She said; give me your hand.


He said; which one?


She laughed.


He said, that tickles.


She said; have I told you about the time we were all tickled?


He said; there’s a lot to tell.


She said; we have time.


He said; Time is The Simplest Thing.


She said; why the capitals?


He said it’s the title of a book I read once.


She said; would you read it to me?


He said, he would.

She said; thank you.


He said; are you stil hungry?


She said; haven’t we eaten?


He said; I don’t remember.

He said; my mother told me they were called London Plane trees.


She said; what was your mother like?


He said, she could run fast, as fast as me , I was surprised.


She said; surprise is good, it means you are ready.


He said; ready for what?


She said; you have a lot of questions.


He said; I want to know everything, I want to sit here and say all the things that we don’t usually dare to say.


She said: that’s not a good idea.


He said; so there are no surprises.


She said; surprises are good.


He said; and who’s singing now?


She said; guess.


He said; do you have a sister?


She said; no .


He said ; a brother?

He said; oh.


She said; can you hear the ocean? Close your eyes and listen.


He said; turn of the radio.


She said ok.


He said; I can hear the cars.


She said; listen beyond the cars.


He said ; I can’t.


She said: try.


He said: do you think you can do anything you want?


She said; yes. Listen.


He said; I hear something.


She said let’s go and swim.


He said; I have no swimming costume.


She said; we don’t need one.


He said where are the keys?


She said; in the oven.


He said why in the oven?


She said, it’s a good place to keep the keys, you will never forget.


He said; are you forgetful?


She said; what?

And laughed.


He said; I like the sound of your laughter.


She laughed. Let’s go, before the sun sets.


He said; we have all day.


She said; we only have this moment.

The Non-Importance of Sadness





She said - Ok, so you’re not ready to forgive. And closed the door.


He waited, she would come back eventually.


When she did, he said -  It’s not about forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. Choices were made, stuff was said, time moved on.


She said – It’s not the people, it’s the situation.


He said – it hurt.


She said – I know.


He said – It still hurts, that’s all.


She said – you want it to hurt.


He said – I don’t , I want it to be like it was before.


She said – it is.


He said – no, it isn’t, it won’t be until new choices are made and stuff is done.


She said – your annoying.


He said – I don’t mean to be, it’s something to do with complicity.


She said – how?


He said – and trust.


She looked at him, she decided to listen.


He said – there was love.


She said – there still is.


He said – maybe love is too big a word, but there was trust and complicity.


She said nothing.


He said – they didn’t trust me completely, I would have trusted them all the way.


She said – so?


He said – so our complicity was broken.


She said – If there was complicity.


He said – I think there was.


She said – maybe there still is.


He said – maybe, it would be nice.


She said – make it happen.


He said – I can’t.


She said – why not?


He said – we have to be together, we aren’t, so there is no complicity.


She said – I don’t know if I understand.


He said – If we are together, it won’t be the same, not at first. 


She said – so it hurts?


He said – yes.


She said – do you like it?


He said – I don’t think about it.


She said – clearly you do.


He said – I’m sad, but it doesn’t matter.


She said – listen to what you are saying.


He said – It’s no longer important.


She said – That’s sad.


He said – that’s what I said. But for now it’s not important.
