I recently returned from the DC area where I had one of the most wonderful weekends that I have had in a long time (and we really were just bums). Leaving Thursday evening I set out to see my true sweetheart, the love of my life. 501 Miles & 7.5 hours later, I finally arrived at my much anticipated destination. Now I have to admit one thing, that by the time I got there I was pretty darn cold. Why you may ask? Well, its kinda foolish, but knowing that Nicki is a huge fan of purple roses I went out and bought a huge bouquet of a purple assortment (purple roses included), which I wanted to keep beautiful & fresh for when I got there. The only good way I could think of to ensure this was to keep the A/C on the whole time driving (yup, silly perhaps, but they STILL looked great when I got them there! :)
A little more in depth now.... Nicki is the "one that got away" or more accurately, we were pulled apart by unavoidable circumstances (parents in the service of our country moving about all the world). She's everything that I could ask for.... she's Smart, Sexy, Beautiful, Responsible, Trustworthy, Friendly, and so much much more. Is she perfect? Of course not, nobody is! BUT.... she is perfect for ME. I don't know why we never kept in touch but I have faith it was for a good reason, that it helped us recognize how important we really are to each other, and I am thankful I have the chance to be with her now.
So there I was, finally near her again, she was just inside that door. I set the bouquet on her door step and rang the bell. I stood just a little off to the side so that I could watch her open the door & see the flowers I had brought for her, I wanted to see that smile I so fondly remembered. She opened the door and stumbled a bit (yup, she can be a klutz at times :) but I couldn't wait any longer, I stepped out and we looked at each other standing there in the moonlight. I couldn't remember anymore if the time had flown by on my drive down or if it had seemed to crawl at a snails pace, but when I saw her standing there in front of me, the time we had spent apart had just melted away, again, it always seemed that way when we were together. Which somehow made sense, we never were really apart. A smile instantly set on our faces and we embraced, her eyes were beautiful and her touch comforting. We kissed instinctively, it seemed so right and so natural. If you know me, then you probably know that I have been saying for some time that something wasn't right, that something was missing. It was at that moment when we kissed that I finally knew what it was....... it was then that I knew that I had finally found home.
