Wish I (Jan 2009 - April 2009)

In early 2009 I met Wes. Brother to a very good friend of mine, Wes was just what I needed as a newly single girl. Fun, fit, and pretty much the opposite of James.

 
Although I don't recall it being part of the initial plan, we ended up in a relationship. A relationship consisting of World of Warcraft, avo sandwiches, late night visits and tequila. A lot of tequila. 

When we first met Wes was seriously considering joining the American army. Since I pretty much fell head over heels for him, this was really distressing. To show him how badly I didn't want him to go, I got him to listen to a song called 'Wish I' by Jem.

My best memory would be when I told him I loved him, we were sitting around listening to music and I spelt the words out on his back. When he eventually figured out what I was spelling out, he got the biggest smile I've ever seen.

We also took cute photo's together ~

He would also make heart shapes a the bottom of his milkshake for me ~ 

The worst memory would have to be when I broke up with him. The first time we broke up, I had felt that we weren't meant to be together suddenly and thought it would be best to end things.. I still to this day can't explain how I was completely in love one second and sure beyond a doubt that we weren't meant to be the next. A little while later he contacted me to ask if we could just hang out and have.. friendly fun sexy time. I agreed, but over the next week, somehow some major confusion had occurred and he thought we were back together, whereas I was still under the impression that we were just having some fun. I has also gone on a date with a guy called Mike who I really liked so when I found out from Wes that he thought we were back together I had to break up with him, again.

A generally good guy, a short relationship. The only guy who bought me flowers and milkshakes, I probably should've given us more of a chance.

Wish I by Jem

Baby, you're sailing today
Baby, you're sailing away
Sugar, wish I could go too
But honey you know
I'm happy for you

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

Baby, your ship has come in
Baby, adventures will begin
Sugar, don't you worry 'bout me
Coz honey you know
Want you to be happy

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
Won't you come home
But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
Won't you come home
Please come home

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
