Have you ever met someone who instantly made you weak in the knees?
Someone who you'd see coincidentally, randomly, and always find yourself grinning after wards?
Ever have a conversation with someone that was so intense you could just get lost in their eyes?
.... it happened to me.
A few years back I met a man, yes, he's a MAN... very casually one day at Barnes and Nobles. We had an instant chemistry and even proceeded to talk about politics and religion.... we departed with a goodbye, and I thought that would be the end of it. As the weeks and months that followed went by, he and I saw each other ALL THE TIME. We'd see each other on campus, we'd bump into each other at the bookstore, and often times we'd run into each other at Krispy Kreme in passing. We had at some point exchanged numbers and would call each other on occasion, randomly, when thinking about a particular theory or when something we found interesting would pop into our minds. As the months went by, he and I both got in and out of relationships. There were times we'd even see the other with their significant other, and feel very awkward. There was always this underlying chemistry that we both tried to fight, because we are both stubborn people who are very prideful. He's the kind of person that stopped believing in love, and I am a romantic at heart. We always flirted with each other and held on to each other while hugging for a second longer than you do with just friends... so it was undeniable to me that there was something there. He got into medical school this summer, his dream came true. Although I was very excited for his good news, I was so sad to see him go, knowing that I'd never again just bump into him. We've managed to keep in touch here and there, and recently exchanged screen names which allows us to talk more often... but it wasn't the same.
So... I get a call from him a few nights ago letting me know he'd be in town for a while and that we should meet up for coffee. I usually take these invitations very lightly because he has a tendency to break them at the last minute. So you can imagine my surprise when he text messaged me yesterday and then proceeded to call me after wards to assure himself that I'd be meeting him for coffee. When I got there his warm smile was the only thing I recognized. It's been months since I've seen him and he's grown up quite a bit, and his usual attire was now replaced with scrubs, making him look very much like a medical student. Weak in the knees, all over again, as he glanced up from his text book and smiled at me. I walked over to him and as he stood up, wrapped my arms around him, feeling very much... at peace. We spoke for about half an hour and he asked me to walk him out... as he had made pryor engagements with some of his friends to play poker. I gathered my belongings and walked him to his car. As he turned to say goodbye, I decided to muster up some courage and gave him a small, quick peck on the lips. He smiled and as I turned to walk away he called me back... I walked over to him and he gently place his hand on my chin and moved it toward his face and we kissed. REALLY KISSED... for the first time in years of knowing each other, and having this incredible connection. We held each other and kissed for a minute, I opened my eyes for a second in disbelief, and looked at him, with his eyes closed, feeling the same thing I was.... that it was finally here, the moment we had both longed for. It was an incredible kiss... and I know I'll replay it in my head for months to come.
It's an amazing feeling to know that one has validation with their emotions. He and I have always felt this way for one another, I can't begin to tell you how incredible it felt walking away from him last night, knowing for sure that he had the same smile on his face that I did. Not to mention he sent me a text message confirming it. =)
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
