Our relationship wasn't completely finished though. There was a brief time in 1979 when I thought we would resume our old habits. My parents were away on holiday and I was waiting to start university at Imperial College. SJL came to stay with me overnight, I can't remember why exactly. She had been seeing another boy since we split and was boasting about how much more experienced she was than when we were an item. I think I should have taken the hint from that, but I did not. Little more physical happened than ever had between us and we rarely saw each other again, except for an absolutely spellbinding Queen concert at Alexandra Palace in December 1979. Queen Rule Rock. Even now, twenty years later, my heart skips a beat when I see a girl
with long blonde hair in the distance. I know it |
