Let Me Tell You A Story

I think I have only talked about this woman via Twitter but she deserves mention on my blog as well. She is such an inspiration to me whenever I see her.
She has two infants, two girls, they are clearly mixed babies (which makes them more adorable) and she manages to always have a smile on her face as she miraculously loads them, their stuff, and their stroller onto the bus.
She seems like the sweetest thing and her two kids always have on the cutest outfits paired with equally adorable smiles.
The amount of work it must take to care for two children all day while only having the bus for transportation is remarkable.
I could just keep going on but she just deserves an appreciation post.

I’m not saying it’s uncommon to feel this strongly about someone, I’m just wanting to know that it’s really okay to do this time.

I’m falling. I don’t have a clue from what height I’ve jumped this time, but my dear, I am indeed falling at an incredible speed and I haven’t even hit terminal velocity yet.

What am I to do about this love I hold for you? You know it’s there. I’ve already told you this. But you could see it in my eyes, it’s not something you could miss. I’m just really excited to see where this takes us.

I think I’m learning where I get this “fast-passed romance” thing I do in relationships from. 

My Mom wants to bring my “girlfriend” with us for Christmas Vacation to the Bahamas.

I’m actually cool with it and the funny thing is that her, my girl, and I have talked about it, I just find it interesting to realize who I kind of got this optimism towards the future, regarding relationships, from. 

She’s a star in the sky,

The Ocean that shines so blue.

She’s a reason for the smile on my face,

It’s like she just walked in, pointed my way, and said “I choose you”.

My life has been good,

And she’s come to make it better.

I’m really feeling ready for us to be something…

Together.

It’s the way that she lights up when she see’s me. 

It’s how she let’s me take control in those first few seconds to let out how much I missed her being there through a kiss. 

It’s how her hands wrap so intricately within my own.

It’s the way she laughs when we’re together.

It’s the way she doesn’t let there be any distance between us whenever we sit together.

It’s how she makes me want to use the word together, but keep quiet about the words “future, us, relationship, and love”.

It’s how those words that I avoid are the ones that whenever said make me think about what her and I have the potential to be.

It’s how I feel about her that has me in this even higher state of living than I normally exist in.

It’s how we’ve been open, honest, and true to each other.

It’s amazing because she alone makes me remember what it’s like to feel like you’ve made the right choices to end up in a place you didn’t expect to be.

So I had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day yesterday. It was full of merriment, shenanigans, and green booze. But now I am home, aching all over, and attempting to round up all of the various school related work that I have to do this week. I hope everyone else had a great day too. I got quite a surprise too.

The wonderful woman who seems to have me smitten, surprised me while I was standing in line at the bars. We were supposed to have gone on a date earlier in the day but she had decided not to text me (sad I know). Her reasoning for this? She likes me, a lot, and she is scared that if she gives in I won’t be around anymore. Now my phone had died earlier in the night, after my constant checking it to see if she had messaged me, which obviously killed my battery. So when she did work up the courage to shoot me a message I had no idea.

Thankfully I had sent a message to her best friend, the girl who is responsible for introducing us, about whether or not this girl was really interested in me or if I was pursuing a dream that would never be reality.

I can’t even describe how nice it is to know that I’m not the only one who may be a little bit “head over heels” in this situation. So when this friend of my enchantress (oh yeah, I went there) called my best friend to see where we were I was happy to go see her. She then told me that the “enchantress” is at so-and-so bar waiting to leave, and that if I am really so interested I should go and say hey. But I was already on my way when she told me where this beauty was.

So I’m standing in line with my friend Mike and the next thing I know, right at my side is this, just beautiful woman. I’m standing there with a smile while she talks to her friend, and then I tap her on the shoulder. Her smile made up for the fact that I hadn’t gotten to see her earlier that day. 

I don’t even know if it’s accurate to say that it’s “crazy” how much I want to see this girl again. We had such a great night with both of our groups of friends and we ended up pulling together in our own little world. 

The way she held my hand made me happy.

The way she “corrected” wrapping her arm in mine made me happy.

Her voice made me smile.

Her smile made me smile.

Gah, I just want to see her again!
