Countdown

Half a year sounds like a long time.
But when you count the number of weeks, weekends, especially the weeeks of summer, it's not that much.

But I want to write here, all the good memories we will have in this remaining time.
I know there will be a lot of tears when the time comes, but I know I won't regret loving you.
Yesterday, we went on a trail run in West coast of Auckland, by the beautiful beach of Bethells. I was definitely overly optimistic thinking I'll be able to run most of it....

Going up hills has never been my strength, and I definitely have beaten myself really well thank to Mags who pull me up along the whole way. Although seeing her skipping away did almost made me wan to kill her here and there.

But coming up the hills and looking down to the beach, I saw the trees where me and Dr.D went out in one of our earlier days of dating. And then over the lakes, where we cuddled and kissed. And now running on this trail together (well not precisely together if he ran it about 4 hours ahead), it's becoming a treasure of memories for him and I.

with a huge amazement,rwe managed to finsh just under 2 hours, and just sat and chilled, waiting for Dr.D to cross the finish line.

But an hour later..... i started to get worried... It was already 6 hours since he started his race. I originally thought he would be breezing through, like he always do. 6.10, 6.20, 6.30.... I started to wonder around the base, making sure he wasn't already back... but not to be seen at all. 

I waited and waited.... looking down at the gate where one by one, people cross the finish line with glowing look of accomplishment. Then fInally.....I looked down at the finish line for the hundredth time, I finally heard the words that I was waiting for....

"Dr.D, finishing at the time of....."

I saw him almost collapsing into the goal, and looking ever so pleased to be landing back on the  base again. I could see his sweat running down his face, and short on air, trying to catch all the breath he can,  and then he gazes over and catches my eyes.....
His eyes brightened up, slowly walked towards  me, and end of his lip lifted up into a bright little smile.

"Hey you"

He said. He cuddled me and kissed me, as if he hasn't seen me in months.

It's the moments like this, I really find him so sweet, and so loving. I almost forgot what it was like to love someone until I met. Even knowing that this is not going to last forever, I know that I made the right choice.
