It is written

The initial look only hinted at it but it wasn't until he touched her that they realized how they fit together; the last two missing pieces to a beautiful puzzle.

He took a deep breath during that first touch, allowing an overwhelming sense of ease to wash over him. But that ease wasn't rooted in the feeling of a homecoming but in one of clarity; like his soul could finally see the truth even though his mind could not comprehend it. He knew from that moment forward that he loved her as simply and easily as she loved him.

Of course they took things slowly, building a friendship first before dating, and then solidifying the seriousness of their relationship by agreeing to be exclusive. But never once during this very common, and sometimes mundane process, did they question or doubt the unspoken but rich undercurrent of love they felt for one another. They just knew; the way the body unconsciously knows it needs water and air to survive. Neither one of them were going anywhere, and they never felt the need to declare it.

No longer in Japan

Ok so I've basically abandoned this blog since Jan. I got busy living my life in Japan and dealing with all the chaos that comes with working at an eikaiwa. Now I'm no longer in Japan (hence the title of this post) and living in Hawaii. I'd never been to Hawaii before the
move but I'm enjoying it so far. What I have decided is that periodically I'm gonna pop onto this blog and write something. I don't expect anybody to read it since my original readers are probably long gone, but I enjoy writing; even if it's only for myself. :-)
