AuburnChick's Adventures

My Dearest Knitting Needles and Yarn,

The first time I saw you, it was love-at-first-sight.  We did everything together.  We laughed, we cried, and we even fought.

You were with me through thick and thin.

You allowed yourself to be humiliated while you went through airport scanners.  You even covered for me by lying low, under the seats of my car, until I could sneak you into the house without being seen.

And how have I repaid you?

I’ve ignored you…for another love…my students.

Oh, the shame of it.

I pass by you many times a day, and I see you longing for me.

What you might not see, as I make frenetic runs past you, is the desire in my eyes.

Oh yes.

You still make my heart go thumpity-thump.

You and I – we make beautiful music together.

It is not a fact lost on me, despite the fact that I can’t remember which end is up half the time.

I can only ask for your forgiveness and pray that we make the most of the fleeting moments we have together.

It will only be a short time before we can take a much-needed vacation together.  Please know that I long for the day when we can retire and grow old together, spending long days simply enjoying each other’s company.

Until then, we will have to remain star-crossed lovers.

In honor of our relationship, I dedicate the following song to you…

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond’ring in the night what were the chances
We’d be sharing love before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

and

Ever since that night we’ve been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we’ve been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

With fondest love,

AuburnChick
