Comfortably Numb

15 minutes after last entry… Comfortably numb by Pink Floyd just came on. This always takes me back to a moment, which I proabably have documented in a journal from way back. It almost brought tears to my eyes let me share.

Christmas time, 2001. I’m at the Loblaws Christmas party, (earlier in that week I had met a girl who I thought was cute who worked at Loblaws as a cashier, I asked if she was coming to the Christmas party, and she said she wasn’t sure.) So I am at the Christmas party hoping she shows up. I am drinking with coworkers, and feel a tap on my shoulder. She is there with a beautiful smile on her face. I tell her how glad I am that she came. I tell her the dj is a punk and won’t play any of my requests, but I really want to hear some pink floyd. I tell her I have to go to the washroom, but I’ll be right back.

I go to the washroom, and when I enter back into the mainroom she is standing there, and Pink Floyd – Comfortably numb starts playing… she says to me “I requested some Floyd for you, do you want to dance with me?” I said I would love to. So her and I start into a slow dance. She is wearing the most elegant black dress, and I hold her, and instantly I knew this girl had to be mine. She looked at me with these beautiful brown eyes and I knew, from that moment that this girl was going to be special to me. From that moment, it was just her and I on the dance floor I didn’t hear anybody else, see anybody else it was just her and I and the sounds of Pink Floyd. That was 5 years ago now and I can still feel it like it was yesterday. I say I have moved on from her, for I have dated multiple girls since her, but none have compared. I still feel her and I will be togeather again at some point. She isn’t far from me, she is now living with my younger sister. *sigh*

Music of the Moment: Blue Rodeo – Lost Togeather (another song that reminds me of her… but that is another story… in short, on a beach, with a campfire… the most perfect calm summer night with the moon shining across the water)
