a pig's liver moment

It's strange, but I had one of those moments that zapped by when you feel a sudden intense pang of missing someone when I was sipping the pig's liver and kidney porridge at Crystal Jade Kitchen today. I was with Emman. The someone I missed was Wenn.

As far as I know, Wenn does not eat pig's innards. So, to miss her while I was biting into a succulent slice of pig's liver just seemed out of context. But, that's how it happened. For that second or less, I hoped she was around, somewhere nearer. We would be drinking our own favourite version of latte and gazing out at passersby, passing by. We wouldn't be talking. We needn't. She would know I'm not in the mood, but she would know the exact kind of silence to give - the kind that spells support and patience. Whatever shit I have on my side, her not talking means she's also on my side. And mine, hers.

We just need companionship. We needn't talk. We needn't have anything to do. We needn't ask, nor answer. We just want to feel comfortable in each other's company, doing absolutely nothing and then again, everything.

That moment passed, as quickly as it had come. I found myself chewing on the slice of pig's liver and thinking it was strange that I had one of those moments, those out of context kind.
