At last .... at last. I had walked alone forever, even as the women in my life walked in and out my door. Many do not believe in love at first sight, but I know it has merit, and indeed possible.
The first time I saw her she was wearing a summer dress that matched her eyes. I new that because my heart exploded out of my chest as my own eyes met hers. What happened next is difficult to describe with words, because there were none involved. To make some sense of this, it was like our minds connected with some kind of magic spell. I could have felt her presence even if I was blind.
Love is hard to explain, and I think many see it as comfort by another's company ... and the person that can make you happy when you feel like crying. Once in a blue moon it is more than that. It is the strongest force in the universe and when separated with your lover it hurts. While talking to people at work you are thinking about her smile and the way she pulls her hair back before every bite at dinner. Others do not notice little things about her, but I get the chills.
Jumping forward in this story, I find myself dancing one night under the stars with warm breezes wrapping around our close embrace. She whispered something in my ears that I will never forget."Speedcat, Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near"?
"Just like me, I guess they want to be close to you" ... at that moment the heavens opened above and moon dust sprinkled in the air.
When I got home I took a cold shower to get all the white poop out of my hair, and smiled.
