Apples and Green Tea

all i need to comfort me is an apple and some green tea and a tablespoon of honey mixed with some ginseng a bright blue sky overhead shaded by sycamore trees classic literature in hand and just the air that i breathe i don't mind my world's on fire or your heated blade pressed into my back i don't mind the verbal onslaught of your venemous personal attack you got what you wanted now i just ask that you go away i've got a tale of two cities and a bright blue saturday i'll wait to pick up the pieces of the shattered life you left behind and i'll trade in my apples and green tea for an endless chalice of blueberry wine and i'll drink to drown you out until you're just a faded memory ----- i'm done feeling miserable. i'm done grieving. and while i don't have to like it, i have accepted the divorce. and maybe somewhere deep inside of me, i wanted this as well. between friends, family, co-workers, the soup, art, yoga, music and just hiking the state parks - i am having a blast while my entire world is crumbling around me, making way for the new. thanks for the continued support. love & light to you all, brothers & sisters. - aaron

Thank you, Richard. I really could use all the hugs I can get right now, but the sentiment is just as welcomed. You are a fine example of the support I've been getting from this community; scratch that, this 'family', here at The Soup. Thanks brother. - Malkavian
