Started as Friends

 


Started as Friends


I always looked at him as a friend. I guess the feelings just grew on me over time. I mean we already had a great connection and he was attractive, what else would you want. It was quite funny as well since we met off an app to meet possible dates. We just became best friends, not what you’d expect, right? I didn’t want anything romantic with him at first. I was completely ok with being best friends and nothing more. 


        However, feelings for the both of us changed. I had recently gone through a breakup and we ended up talking about how I had feelings for him. He admitted it as well. We talked about it being something we could visit. It got pushed off and we dropped the subject. I knew we both still had feelings. I did end up moving onto someone new and so did he. Was I jealous? Absolutely. I wanted him but didn’t want to ruin our friendship. 


“Listen I am confused but I am pretty sure I still have feelings for you. I know we are both with other people and if you don’t feel the same that’s ok. I just thought you should know”


“I am honestly confused on the topic as well. I just don’t know. I am not going to drop her for you right away. I think we should wait until we are both single to consider it again.”


        I think that was the smartest thing to do at the time. Years went on as we continued to be best friends. Those feelings for him never faded. He was the only one that was there for me sometimes. He was the best male connection I had. We were both single after all. It was time to chat about it, again. 


“Do you remember that conversation we had years ago? The one where we said we were both confused and taken? I feel a lot more clarity. I feel that we do have something more than friends. I mean who have you told almost everything to? Me. Every high and low? Me. It is crystal clear to me. We are both single, why not try it like we have always talked about?.”


        To my surprise, he enthusiastically agreed. It’s 5 years and we have tied the knot. I knew it was the right decision from the beginning. It had to be him. We are going to be that couple that is happy best friends and lovers until the day we die.

Out of Chance

  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...
