I Waited and You Didn't Come.

... I kept anticipating your arrival, but deep down I knew you wouldn’t show.

Some things affect me deeply. Cameron discussing the Eurozone doesn’t; the Queen’s Jubilee doesn’t; how the English football team fares at Euro 2012 doesn’t.

This does. This is human at its most poignant, and arguably its most profound. The waiting and the failure can be present in many situations, but the underlying principle always has the cold touch of tragedy about it.

I was quoting something that was said to me, Mel. It's still hurting, me being a sentimental old soul.

I let out a sigh-gasp! Not a euphemism by the way ;)
