Today is not the first time I told you I love you, but is the first time anyone has asked me “Can I love you back?” My response was an emphatic “Yes.” My “I love you so much,” received the reply “I love you more,” and all I could do was smile.
Friday Jones exhaled today. Finding love did not start with you. It actually started with me about four years ago. It is very ironic that my meeting you in terms of timing was about the time I started planning for the release of my book. I had completed a journey of becoming whole and on a train ride that was orchestrated by the universe, we both were not just on the train at the same time, but were seated only one seat away from each other. I sometimes wonder what my now would be like had you not spoken, had you not looked at me with those eyes. I marvel at all of the things that happened that made my being on that train at that time possible. That one moment in time has taught me that all moments are precious. Someone dear to me passed away, I pulled funds together to book a last minute flight, I took off work for two days, but I caught my flight the morning I met you and Phili was supposed to be a very short layover. Wind literally shut down all airports in NYC and I decided to take a train rather than sit waiting. I called my cousin to see if she could pick me up from the airport and take me to the train station, and she, her husband, and son were just leaving a birthday party and within 15 or 20 minutes I was on my way to the 30th Street Station. Amtrak wanted $99 but the Amtrak woman told me that for $25 I could take a local train into the city. My cousin’s husband picked up the time schedules, got me to the SEPTA ticket line with only minutes to spare to find the right track where the next train was leaving. Everyone literally ran up the stairs to the platform so I could make that train and I wound up next to you. If I live to see forever – this will be my testimony to fate manifested.
I thought you were a cutie pie for sure, but the two things that stuck out the most were how well you speak and in the words of D’Angelo “those dreamy eyes.” When I was leaving to go back to LA, you texted me “… take care of all that for me until I see you again, I’m really looking forward to our future.” I did not really know what to make of that – but the words did stick with me.
As time passed, and I started to get to know you, I wanted to know more about you, I wanted to spend my time with you – whether it was talking on the phone or texting, I knew I was liking you and your energy. You were what I needed in terms of your words and actions, you were a breath of fresh air. I have never really had to wonder what you thought of me or what you thought of us because you expressed your feelings so frequently, I was disarmed. Your way of being allowed me to be myself, and I think that is really what anyone seeking a real relationship wants, to be more of who they are. This is the first time in a really long time I have not been afraid to be with someone, this is the first time ever that my mind has not been spinning a mile a minute with worried thoughts. That is so huge. My energy is so vibrant because you are that dude. You say often I am your dream come true, you are the dream I had almost given up on.
In this moment of time, I am so excited to simply enjoy the ride and see where life takes us together. I love you so much Mr. Eloquent and you do indeed have my heart. I am also very much looking forward to our future. You reminded me today that you asked if you could keep me, and that I said yes, and how you intended to keep me to that promise…do not play cause SamNSue.com have some lovely Morganite rings that I like!
