breathless

My love is going (surprise!) to Antarctica too. I have intense super-conflicting feelings and well, my life has been flipped upside-down. Here is a sketch to show how I'm feeling:

Mykle called to tell me and I felt so peculiar, hot and cold and breathless, with watery eyes, my hand still holding the phone long after he had rung off (I was at work). This has been going on for years, his attempts at Antarctic employment, but I never thought it would really happen. 6 months is a long time, especially for a very affectionate and friend couple (as in: we are friends) as we are.

All my life I've been bound in the chains of love.
