Subject: something wonderful...To whom this may concern:
Something very wonderful happened to me tonight. I don’t really know what it is, but I know it was good. It was real good. She gleamed sitting next to me. It was like this instance, if I could just capture it and place it in a frame, I could keep it forever. Well, not really, it was more like how I felt at that instant. We were at this comedy club and the comedian banged through with another punch line and it was hysterical. I looked over to her and our eyes locked. It was like a connection was made. For that instant, it felt warm, intense, soft, nerve-racking with a special calmness. I don’t know if it was mutual, but all I know is that it felt good to me. I guess that’s all I can go on for now.
It’s been a little while for me. I wasn’t sure if this was a date or just two good friends spending an evening together. But, it feels good to know that I could be feeling the way I felt at that moment. You see, I was involved in a pretty serious relationship which ended a few months before. It was probably one of the best things that may have happened for me, but I guess my partner felt a little differently. Well, needless to say, that didn’t feel too good, and lends me to be slightly cautious about matters effecting the heart.
Anyway, later on in the evening, we went out after the show for coffee and desert. We sat at the restaurant which overlooked a nearby canal, a historical site. It was almost perfect. The moon, the company, and the temperature. It was a little bit chilly for her, so I lent her my blazer. She draped it over her shoulders. She looked nice. It was perfect, except for the conversation. That went well too, but I couldn’t say what I wanted to say, or what I was thinking.
I drove her home and she made a humorous comment about what we talked about a couple of weeks before; about making a one-shot-deal of a date with someone. Therefore, sacrificing the emotional attachment which I couldn’t afford right now. It was a running joke at the time. She asked me what I thought how things went tonight. I replied positively. I asked her what she thought. It was mutual. I asked her if she would like to get together and do this again soon. She replied positively.
I still was unsure if it was a real date or not. All I know is that she looked real good when she disappeared through her doorway. I smiled slightly and raised my hand a little to motion a wave. She did the same. There was that feeling again.
Sincerely,
