Getting back on track
Levin left the States today. He's probably on a plane right now to Tokyo then to Taipei. LoL, poor guy has to stay in Taipei for a good long 12 hours before his next connecting flight. He doesn't have any Taiwan currency either, wonder if they except American dollars for food?
Having him here was a great joy. We did many things together, and even though I vowed to blog about them through the holidays, I guess I have never gotten round doing it because I wanted to spend almost every moment I had with him. I know to my family members I must appear crazy, possessive or obsessed even...I mean, he's going to be here all day and there's no place for him to run to anyway, so why hang on to him so tightly? That's the question I see in their faces whenever I look at them.
It's true, he's not going to run away from me, but I guess after having lost sight of him for two years, a person can't help but feel a little possessive when they finally get to see him. Perhaps to them two years isn't long, perhaps they don't even feel like it's been two years because the days just go by so quickly, but that is not the case for me. True, it has passed by quickly, but at the same time it is going by me really slowly. Even though I've seen him through the webcam or talk to him on the phone, sometimes when I'm alone, I can't help but doubt if his existence is real. Sounds crazy maybe, but it is a possibility; they even came up with a word for it after all--deluded.
Now that he's gone, things are starting to fall back into place. I'm sure my family is greatly relieved. =D It was hard to squeeze a 7th person into the car, dinning table (or pretty much anything really) after all. Perhaps the only thing my sisters will miss is the dish washing he does ever so enthusiastically and voluntarily.
Coming back home today, I see the empty room, where his luggage once was and where he would sit against the wall trying to improve his speed in solving a rubik's cube, and can't help but feel a little sad. Sure, I miss him already, but his stay here is enough to last me through another year...even two maybe.
Levin, I really enjoyed your stay here with me. I had a lot of fun and I really can't thank you enough for all that you've done for me. The hours and expenses spent on the trip alone is too great for me to ever pay you back, yet "thank you" is all I can say as always.
I hope you have a safe trip back.
As always, remember that I love you.
