Jealous Sunset

Cause she can’t stop shaking and I can’t stop touching her and…..
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
“These seconds when I’m shaking leave me shuddering for days” she says.
And I’m not ready for this sort of thing

I’m not gonna bend. And I’m not gonna break and
I’m not gonna worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say “as long as this is love…”
But it’s not all that easy so maybe I should just
snap her up in a butterfly net-
Pin her down on a photograph album

And every time she sneezes I believe it’s love
and oh lord…. I’m not ready for this sort of thing
She’s talking in her sleep-it’s keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
oh lord. I’m not ready for this sort of thing

– Anna Begins, Counting Crows

Always loved this song.. not sure why.

I was walking along Camps Bay beach tonight just before sunset. A girl ran past me, to the end of the beach where the water is calm and deep. She went swimming as the sun was setting. Reminded me of a girl I used to know.

As we were walking back she stopped and gazed into the sunset. Awesome sunset. An Interview with a Vampire / Crimson Tide kinda sunset.

And then, for some reason I was jealous. Envy for the way I remembered she could take in a moment like this. I had a camera with me but I could not capture the moment the way I figure she was experiencing it.

I think I have a bit of a love-hate thing for the quirky/arty/free-spirit types (-;

ps. Yes, she looked good in bikini.
