September 26th...
Well today is September 26th 2007. The would be 4 year anniversary of Sarah and I. Thank God I work today, it will help keep me grounded, at least until 3 when I get off of work.
Exactly 4 years ago today at this very moment I was standing at the bus stop very nervous. I was nervous because I knew I was going to ask Sarah Elizabeth Gordon out today. And if the bus was late today and screwed up everything for me I would be furious, because the morning was the best and pretty much only chance I had.
Of course though the bus was late! I finally got to school with about 5 minutes to spare before the first bell rang. I took the long way around to make it seem like I was just walking a long and then decided to talk to her, instead of just walking up determined.
I finally reached the spot where she hung out with Jamie Flavin, and her other friends, over by the Science Hall and the portables. I was walking a long, looked at Sarah, pretended to have just noticed her, walked up and said, "Could I talk to you?"
"Sure!"
"You can walk with me if you want."
"Ok!"
My heart was absolutely pounding right now, I was surprised she couldn't hear it. I was absolutely terrified of her saying no. Because that one word would send all of my dreams crashing to the floor. Because the night before we both took the first steps towards being where we are at school:
Sarah, "I really like talking to you."
Me, "I really like talking to you too."
That moment in history from the night before kept replaying over and over in my mind.
"Umm.... I wanted to ask you," I stopped walking in front of the big pine tree with the roots sticking out, (for all you PSL alumni out there :p) "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Ok, I was wondering, would you be my date for homecoming?"
"Yes..."
"And also, would you go out with me?"
"Yes..."
*the bell just rang*
I know, it wasn't classy, but it got the point across. I felt absolutely ecstatic and really bummed because she didn't seem thrilled to be my date and my girlfriend with the way she said yes.
As we walked to class silently I took in the smell of her hair. The smell of her hair spray and gel was magnificent. We reached the hallway to her first class, we hugged, and I felt her her cold wet hair, it smelled even better up close. It was an absolutely wonderful hug.
Me, "I will see you at lunch then?"
"Yup!"
The rest of the day was absolutely fantastic. We ate lunch together, and then we decided on our first date.
Saint Lucie Lanes with Jamie and Jason, it was going to be a double date. Unfortunately I spent a major portion being frustrated before the date, because I was still 15 at the time and I had to be home by 11, and it took Jamie and Sarah what seemed like 8 hours to get ready, by the time my mom left the house to drop me off it was almost 9.
The date was absolutely wonderful, aside from the fact that I didn't like Jason and he kicked my ass in pool. I didn't get to show off very well sadly... But I warned her ahead of time that I sucked at pool. She sat on my lap for the first time, I held her so tight, like I never wanted to let go, it was the most wonderful feeling in the world. I bought her a rose as well. I could tell that we both were fighting off the urge to not kiss towards the end of the evening. Especially now with the rose and when I was laying on one of the benches where the lockers are and she was sitting with my head between her legs running her fingers through my hair. I gazed into her eyes and saw nothing but the most wonderful person God had created, she was truly an angel...
That was one of the best Friday nights I ever had.
For the next 4 years came the worst times in our lives along with the greatest times in our lives. We went through so much in 4 years that most married couples go through in 30 years.
Sarah, if you read this... just remember all the absolutely wonderful, magnificent times we spent together, and I hope they make you smile. Because I sit here smiling remembering them.
7:03 am is the official time of the anniversary...
