Now, before I begin, for the record, NO ONE thought this would happen. Literally. It was unbelievable, unthought of, un-everything else, and you get the idea. Out of all the places in the world, magic happened in good ol' sunny San Diego, California, while I was down for a temporary assignment. We were about done with work, too, just a few more days till we returned back to the North Pole. Now, Ill say this too, not everything in San Diego was a happy moment, I was pretty aggrivated with life and things/people in it, and had to get away, and leave it all behind.
My mind was now open again, ready for a new beginning, but not just any new beginning, I had to rethink everything. Put things in order. Make sure everything I wanted in life was within reach, and everything that I didnt, was going to be left out without them coming back in. Something I hadnt done for a good while, but I had to let go, completely, all at once and not look behind me. Well, as bitter as throwing it all away seemed like at the thing, I did it with flying colors and smiled to a VERY sunny morning the next day.
Texting. Such a wonderful little incentive the common cell phones today have. I dont think anything would have happened if the text messages hadnt gone through, but with a strike of God's magic wand, everything fell into place. Someone I came across almost a full, long 3 years ago wandered her way back around into my life, as I did into hers. Crazy!! How could that have happened without skipping a beat? This is my confession to everyone. Ive always felt for her. And I dont care what you all are going to say about it. Ok, so i lurked around through her myspace, it was all I had to reassure me that she was doing fine. She was always in mind from time to time.
Yes, this means I had her lurking in my brain while I was off with others. As smooth as a hot knife through butter, something even more off the wall happened, as if her and I talking on the phone wasnt crazy enough. She was hooked up with one of the coolest fucking friends of hers I have ever come across, and flew to San Diego. Ok, I know what you all are thinking. I was just about to leave, why would she wanna fly in to see me? Well, as the final days came by of the trip, we wound up stuck in San Diego for an additional 2-3 more days. Perfect timing, too. God works His wonders.
I have to add this all in, things werent working in both our favors, her flight kept getting delayed, as I was having trouble finding a rental vehicle to drive across the city to meet her at the airport. It was if as though the dream shattered before even beginning, but this was the moment of truth. I was not about to let go. To give up. To walk away and save it for later. No way, fuck that, I fought my HARDEST for it. I got that vehicle, and she got that flight, and then it was just a matter of killing time...
When I saw her plane taxi into the jetway so people can unboard the plane, you should have seen me. I was jumping, breathing hard, and pacing all at the same time. I have never been so nervous. I saw her walk out and holy crap, heartbeat rates shouldnt be racing as fast as mine was at that time, it was abnormal. We finally saw each other, face to face, and it was like I went back in time to July 2, 2005, when her and I first met. She ran to me and embranced me as I did back, and the moment just lasted forever!!! Oh man, what a dream come true.. I wouldve been so pissed to wake up.. heh.
She was down for a about 3/4 of a day. I didnt care. It was the BEST damn 3/4 of a day I could have ever, EVER, experianced. It was THE moment that counted. The types you see in movies. I had always thought, the fling between us when we first met felt like a movie scene as it was, didnt surprise me after everything in California went down, it felt like a sequal, or perhaps the next good part of the same movie. Whatever it was, it was something done that NO ONE that knew about the whole ordeal thought would ever EVER happen. Shyt, we didnt even think wed TEXT, and we ended up holding hands. <3
Ill admit, cuz this is the serious part, everyone. I dropped her off and got a ride back through the same cab, and when I saw her walk into the airport as I drove off, I cried so much. I held in alot of it, but the tears did indeed roll. And that was when it hit me. Hard, but a good hard. I was crying. It TORE ME UP to see her go. It was obviously something greater than just a "i like this person" type of feeling. Love? Ah, dont know, maybe. I mean, thats something that cant even be described, yet has a trillion meanings in the dictionary and people alone. I knew. This was it. The one moment that I am going to forever remember until the next time, and yes, there WILL BE a next time. I assure you all.
Just know, guys, it was our time to shine, and we completely blew the sun out of the solar system with how bright we were together. I loved her laugh, her smile, the way we spoke about just about everything. We basically did it all in just a matter of hours. Its fine, it was just a matter of hours when we first met, so I knew how to handle the precious time well. And it was all done very well. If shes reading this, know that I miss you so much. You have no idea, but maybe you do, cuz I know you miss me just the same. Im praying, hoping, highly anticipating the next time. ...the next reunion...
