Interlude ii

'... Unsettled hearts promise things they can't deliver...'
Tracy Chapman

He's fine... I'm glad he's fine, NO I'm relieved he's alright. Wandering through the abyss of my mind had me lost in a maze of tangled thoughts...
Yes relieved, phew!

When we finally spoke last night, my wish came true... The reason was very plain, incomprehensible to my tangled mind, the circumstances unreal, like a cold French novel. Yet I was relieved. The pain that had been there was replaced with a bruise that hasn't caused much damage but will invariably leave a painful blue green purple-ish mark for a while.

'Courage, man; the hurt cannot be much'

'No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but it's enough, 'twill serve:'

Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet, act iii scene i line 66
