The Two Knights

My afternoon had spoilt me for the hours that remained, and I thought how long they would seem until my bed-time, how empty too my supper all alone.

SECRETS by O.M.D
The Lyrics

I got a secret and I can’t explain
All the time, I’ve waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you’d better just wait and see

This is all, this is all
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
And all I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
And now you see all my secret is this love
Is love, Is love
My secret is this love

Everyday you’re always there
You comfort me
And make me feel it’s worth my while
And then I look around and you’re not there
And everyday you say you care and I’ll beware

This is all, this is all

I’ve got a secret and I can’t explain
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt
To see the sun and to walk the sand

Twenty-five years ago today

November 25, 1985
Monday

Okay…it’s a short week, so I’ll make it. Normally I’d be counting the days until my next couple of days off. This time it all happened so fast. I guess my personal life (named Chad) is filling my time well.

If anyone got their hands on my journal I’d hope it would be understood about what a friend I have in Chad. He’s my Knight-in-Shining-Armor as I am his Knight.

 
Work was really busy today.

Margaret Lai was not at the office.

After my stressful work day I was going to do aerobics but my mom persuaded me to go over to her house for dinner. Then I had a nice chat with both mom and dad. I hadn’t seen them in a good while.

I went to the gym and Buddy was there. I did one set of weight training and twenty-four minutes on the Life Cycle.

I returned home to fold clothes and had plans to go straight to bed.

I did leave an answering machine message for Chad.
I asked, “Hey Chad, would you call me when you get this message?”

He did call back just as that ‘Tarzan Boy’ song began to start-up on the radio.

Chad also reminds me of another song called “SECRETS” by O.M.D.

Chad asked me, “What do you think about the International Car Show?”
“I don’t know. I think we should go though.”
And so, we may go to that Show in The City soon. We also talked about meeting up in The City on Wednesday night. He wants me to show him around The City.

We were both apologetic about our ‘teeny-weeny’ gripes over this past weekend. We were now able to laugh about it. We were realizing how much we missed one another. We both really want our relationship to grow strong and work out even better. He will be my roommate eventually. I know he will.

Chad finally said, “I’ll probably stay with you during that week of December when I’m off from school.”
“That sounds fun.”
It was now bed-time.
