Dream Date

A perfectly guided collision, how else could it be described? Down to my knees scrambling to gather my things, upon impact I was so startled I threw my arms full of books and papers into the air! How could I be so unaware, looking up to see the person who shared my day dream walking precession. As my eyes scanned up my heart paces, increasing the rate exponentially with every moment. Then upon our eyes meeting, lost in the deep blue of hers, piercing my soul as if in that moment she is scanning every second of my life searching for something or just curious about what's in my mind. Breathless from the energetic information exchange, watching her voiceless as my mind continues to race. "Please forgive my clumsiness, I am so sorry to have run into you!" I state as my mind is overwhelmed. Without missing a beat she assures me all is well and she begins to gather up her dropped things. My heart is racing and I'm carefully trying to ensure I gather all of the loose papers. She says "My name is Alex and collisions like this never just happen, I would like to know your name and maybe meetup later if your game?". Caught off guard, I never have anyone as beautiful as her speak to me much less actually have a desire to know who I am. I quickly respond as if I wasted a moment it wouldn't be real, I blurt out "Andy... Andy is my name!" She looks at me with a smile I've not seen before, then says " well Andy Andy, I would like to see you again; are you free this weekend? Thinking to myself "I'm not sure, I don't know what I have planned...", "Sure!" I respond not even aware of what I had scheduled. In that moment I couldn't have cared less about anything else, I'm rather excited that she took a chance and asked me out as if it were left up to me we'd be friends for eternity... We exchange our contact information and part ways, I never stopped thinking about her not once the rest of that day.

The day of the date

Saturday at noon, is when we planned to connect. It's currently 6am and I've showered twice, you could say I'm excited but that would be an understatement. We plan to meet at the vineyard for a wine tasting and then off to a hike at Acadia National Park. I have tried to be prepared for everything that could arise, hiking pack and shoes to change into after lunch. Leaving for the vineyard 2 hours early to ensure nothing keeps me from making the date. I wonder if she has any anxieties about meeting me at this place, what will we discuss how well will time maturate? Driving by the vineyard for the fifth time still thirty minutes before the arrival chime, I go ahead and acquire a table for us, ordering two glasses of Merlot.

Alex arrives immediately I'm experiencing tunnel vision as if she is the only being in the building, time seems to come to a complete stop as she walks towards me sitting at our table. I quickly stand offering my hand, bumping the table spilling both glasses of wine all over. She laughs and grabs the table next to mine, she says "Have a seat, no worries let us move forward!" All in all she kept me stable during an event that would have normally caused me to leave and go home to regroup, surprisingly here I sit at her table and honestly I'm so happy inside just to be in her presence. Alex grabs my hand and says "Today will be great, I have been looking forward to seeing you again. I need to know do you experience me like I experience you? Like two halves of the same whole?" Like she is reading my mind her words almost clones of my own thoughts... I stammer as I remember I must talk to convey thoughts, "Please know you unhinge my world, you warp my vision and your real words strengthen my soul!" Typically I wouldn't have the words to put together but with you I am free to breathe and speak as I please. I'm caught up in the moment lost to my emotions, willing to skip ahead so we can move forward! I'm not sure when we left the vineyard or arrived at Acadia but here we are walking around the lake and time seems to evaporate. There is a magnetic push and pull and we both resonate, it's like being together causes our vibrational frequency to rise. The day is over and I am back at home reliving the final moments of my new life and dreaming of tomorrow for our next encounter.
