You will definitely think I am crazy now...
I almost laugh now when I consider the fact that I nearly abstained from leaving the house that night. It was cold, I didn't think I'd have much chance to see you, let alone talk to you, and I was nervous about making a scene. You told me, correctly, that even if I were to see you for a second it was more than enough to merit venturing into the worst weather. When it occurred to me how right you were, I chuckled and agreed. I probably tried to pretend that I wasn't totally thrilled to be outside, but when I saw you, I truly realized just how important each moment was. I was amazed by how foolish I had been for even considering missing an opportunity.
The bus ride was spectacular. It was distracting at first, but once we got the blanket going and I held your hand and felt your warmth, all peripheral stimuli vanished. Maybe you remember how peaceful I became? I certainly remember observing you as you attempted to fall asleep. So beautiful. I think we both tried but we were just too excited. I think it was there, under that blanket, where I first began to imagine us as a real couple. We were just so natural together. In spite of everything else, we just clicked.
I held you do tightly. I wanted that bus to drive forever. I remember the dismal feeling I got when I started to recognize things outside as we approached home.
I don't think I had ever felt a deeper sensation of peace and I certainly haven't since. Such a silly little situation turned out to be the best night of my life.
