Looking Back

 



Looking Back

            My heart could hardly contain itself. My stomach knotted up in ways I have never felt before. I was the one to date a lot in hopes of finding the one. Call me a hopeless romantic if you’d like. Emily is the perfect package. An amazing smile that could light up an entire room corner to corner, the kindness and warmth that some may consider angelic, she was also drop dead gorgeous.

           I thought I had no chance. I work at a coffee shop and saw her every shift. Black coffee with an extra shot of espresso every morning. Tonight was the night she let me cook for her. I had no other intentions except to get to know her and spend time with her, just us. 


        

          I could not believe how incredible she is even when it’s just her and I. She even asked me on a second date. We kept going out and out. I remember that one night, I knew she was the one. I knew it from the start. I cooked the same meal for her that I did on that first date. She was rinsing her plate and when she turned around I was already on one knee and shaking. Thankfully, she said yes without hesitation.


        
         We got married in spring and everything was perfect. We had that same dinner again on our 1 year marriage anniversary and she looks better and better everyday.

  Out of Chance      I still remember my heart fluttering as I watched her play on the swing sets. Her red hair swinging behind her as her smile lit up the whole world. I loved watching her honey brown eyes look over at me. I never thought she would give me the time of day. One day I guess I got lucky. I don’t know how or why but she actually spoke to me. She asked for my name. I don’t think my little brain could even comprehend what was happening. The knots in my stomach were getting tighter and tighter every second. I finally managed to muster up the brain power to reply with: “Elliot…. I sit at the purple table.”            I saw her impeccable smile once again. Her eyes gleamed as she remembered me. “Yes!! Elliot… I got to remember that. I am Maggy.”           She had no clue how well I knew her name. It replayed over and over again in my brain. That’s all could think about. From that day we becam...

Forever

 Forever            I knew I loved her. I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life but, no one had faith it would work. We were “too young” or “too dumb”. My best friend in high school even had his doubts. But here we are 30 years married and 45 years together. Lorraine was my everything. We met in middle school in a strange way.      I was really young and had a major crush on her. I had never had a girlfriend  or felt so compelled to be with someone before. We were in 4 out of 6 classes together, so she was always there. I would use the most random conversation starters and everyone thought I was strange and creepy. Somehow she adored it. No one thought it would turn into anything and I had no chance.          Well my best friend that said we had no shot at lasting was my best man at my wedding. He slowly started to realize that just because we were young, we still knew what feelings to hold...
