Amazing what love feels like
So...this week (starting last Thursday) has been the week from hell in terms of sheer hours at work. I do love my job, but the project I'm working on now is killing me. Including and since last Thursday until the end of today (Wednesday), I've worked a total of 82.75 hours - and that's not counting the hours at home on Sunday.
What has made this week one of the best weeks ever for me has been the love and attention of my beautiful girlfriend. She didn't get upset or pout when I told her that I couldn't take off Monday with her to celebrate the first day of spring, she didn't complain when I had to work from home on Sunday (which is our day). I've been getting home around 9:00 or 10:00 every night, and despite the fact that this is one of the two weeks she has off before school starts back up, she hasn't made me feel one iota of guilt for not spending time with her.
Instead, she has been there to answer my calls throughout the day and talk to and encourage me for five minutes when I feel overwhelmed. She has made dinner for me every night. She has listened to me bitch about my day and tell endless anecdotes patiently. She turns the alarm off in the morning so I can sleep a bit more, but makes sure I don't sleep through it the next time. She tells me she loves me at least once a minute. And even though she could sleep in in the morning for at least another 3 hours, she gets up and makes me Cuban coffee when I'm in the shower.

[The First Taste]
I lie in an early bed
Thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black
To replace my blue
I do not struggle
In your web
Because it was my
Aim to get caught
But daddy longlegs
I feel that I'm finally
Growing weary
Of waiting to be
Consumed by you
Give me the first taste
Let it begin
Heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, just start the chase
I'll let you win
But you must
Make the endeavour
Oh, your love gives
Me a heart confusion
Adagio breezes fill
My skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt
Borders intrusion
I'm building memories on
Things we have not said
Full is not heavy as empty
Not nearly my love
Not nearly my love
Not nearly
Give me the first taste
Let it begin
Heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, just start the chase
I'll let you win
But you must
Make the endeavour
