on again?

dear falafel roll from the sandwich shop in the arcade,

i've been a fool.

i miss your hot, oozing sauce; i miss your soft, moist balls; and most of all i miss the way you made me feel:

satisfied, and yet always wanting more.

for the first time in my life i think i actually understand what joni mitchell meant in that song about the parking lot and the taxi and putting all the trees in museums and stuff.

i guess you really don't know what you've got 'til its gone/you stop buying it for lunch for a year or so.

and so i have decided that we should give "us" another try.

if you're up for it, that is.

i'm older now. wiser too. and i promise never to take you for granted again.

i've been trying to think of the perfect apology, but have thus far failed to come up with the right words.

thus i will employ the words of another, more qualified wordsmith:

mr. gary barlow.

and so in barlow's words, from his days as a bonafide, mesh-wearing member of 'take that' (you know, that group robbie williams' was in before he was a megastar):

whatever i said, whatever i did i didn't mean it.
i just want you back for good.

(want you back, want you back, want you back for goo-ood.)


so, waddya say? can we start over?

i'll be at the shop tomorrow around one o'clock. you can give me your answer then.

love and extra chilli sauce,

la nadine.

well that's a bit random isn't it, mg.

can't say mr. maze is my falafel.

nor do i believe i am his.

we ate toast together once if that counts for anything.

Gary Barlow.

He always was a tubby little ball of falafel, wasn't he? Bless.

A now-ex-flatmate always said that Howie was the hottest, but he'd have to wear a paper bag over his ugly head in order for her to shag him.

Sorry to go completely off topic there... its just I always had a soft spot for Gazza. I even own his solo CD.

For shame.

Ah. Achingly beautiful. Here's hoping for a Richard Curtis-esque rain and/or snowflake-strewn reunion.
