A Fresh Start


Doors open and close. Opportunities come and go. The days I've trudged through have passed slowly at best. In time good things happen. Situations arise when least expected in the most unexpected ways. I thought nothing much of it at the start, but I know now that I couldn't have more wrong. I can't deny I was excited from the start, but I never could have known just how incredible it would turn out. I've learned from my past not to jump to conclusions. I won't make any assumptions. All the right answers were given to all the important questions. I had to pinch myself more than once in the five hour span and I'm thankful it didn't all disappear. Unbelievably comfortable and no less than amazing. Her eyes and her smile that lit the room. I can still see her glow. We talked endlessly and without regret. Her laugh intrigued me. We held nothing back. She accepted my offer to dance and couldn't have made me happier. The past months seem to slip from my mind. Time was lost to me and it didn't matter. Not in recent memory have I been able to be myself with someone as well as I was at this moment. I find it tough now to put into words the emotions that seep through me. The smile that appeared on my face a few short hours ago still lingers about and will most likely remain for quite a while. A part of me - as I'm sure her as well - wonders if it was all a flash out of reality. I'll set out to prove what its worth. To back up my words and not be any less than what I said I was. I have no doubt about fulfilling my end and only hope to see the same. I could go on and on but I can only pray that I have more inspiration in the upcoming days. My mind will be full for hours. The glow that surrounded me has gone for the moment, but with all good intentions will return in a short time. I think of her smile and her eyes. In my head they will remain. As I've said I've learned from my past and won't make assumptions. I hope for all the good that I feel to come out in time. I miss her already.
