The Beginnings of a Love True

There are words that I can say a million times over that could never begin to describe the wonder that is you.  You grow up watching movies that show that perfect girl walking into the store or starting a new day at school or the new employee at work and catching your eye.  Going home at night you look up at the stars and talk to God and ask him to send a little help your way or show you a sign that what you're thinking is the right thoughts.  But what you don't realize is that he already did.  A late bloomer watching friends around him partake in love lives that you only go home to watch on TV and movies.  So you pay attention and watch and when the guy gets the girl in the end, you cry.  Not because it is something you want so badly but because it is so beautiful.  They all say to you, life isn't a movie and that's not how life works.  So you continue to go to work and watch the movies thinking you are in a way practicing for that moment when you see the girl walk into the store, start the new day at school, become the new employee.  During this time you try out the waters to see what it's like out there in the seas of romance.  Turns out the waves aren't as smooth as you thought they might be and in the voyage your boat gets some damage on it.  It still floats but you don't take it out as much for fear that it won't stay afloat as well.  While you go to work you retell these stories on the high seas to someone at work that listens with great care to what you are saying.  You are so glad to be able to tell these stories aloud to someone who actually listens that you don't really notice that that person is looking at you as the new employee, the guy that walked into their store, the new kid at her school.  When everything caves in and the journeys are fruitless you see her at work and think, why can't I meet someone like her who is happy to see me and wants to hear my stories.  I wonder what it would be like to be with her.  So with newfound interest you go to work only to discover that she has moved on and doesn't work there anymore.  With a heavy heart and a peace of yourself that you didn't know you had given up, you continue work.  Less energy, less happiness.  But your heart was paying attention and placed a footnote in your life to refer back to in the lucky case you ever run into her again.  Life continues on and a few more voyages out onto the rough waters take place and while some rides provide patches for the boat, more damage is ultimately taken.  So the boy puts the boat away for repairs while he toils away at a new job.  Then one day while he is at the counter he sees a vision walk in and past him.  The beautiful girl says hey how are ya and walks to do her shopping.  His heart pulls up the footnote and sends the message up to his brain where it is reviewed.

It was her.

A million messages are transferred through his body and for a moment he is filled with so much confidence he barely recognizes himself.  Someone that attractive showed real interest in saying hello and asking how he was.  I wonder what she is up to now and how I would even get in touch with her.  Life again steps in and takes the boy for a wild ride.  He takes great care of the boat, not taking it out on the waves very much in order to protect itself.  The job that he has been pursuing doesn't work out and leaves the boy still at the job he isn't crazy to have.  His department is then closed and he is moved to the customer service portion.  With life being confusing and worrisome, one day he works the weekend day afternoon and a normal unhappy day continues.  Suddenly the beauty that his heart kept an eye out for walked into his line and took her place as being next for him to be waited on.  His heart practically skipped a beat.  This was the moment.

The girl who walked into his store.

She walked up to the counter with her mother to buy lottery tickets and gave the sentence that would pave the way to true love for him.

"Hey darlin, how are ya?"

This time he was able to answer, albeit being so nervous it wasn't much but after so many years they were able to speak again.  His heart sent warning signs to his whole body saying there she is, don't let this one go!  The transaction wasn't long and before he knew it she was walking away.  He looked over to watch her go and right before she turned the corner to go she looked over at him and their eyes met.  His knees got all wiggly and he felt the feeling of a million butterflies in his stomach.  This was the girl that he was destined to meet.  He paced back and forth drawing every memory he could to try and remember her name so that he could find her.  Once the name came to him, the cutest name he had ever heard, he raced home after work and began the hunt.  Once he found her he began to chat with her, sending her messages about what he was reading, what he had been up to, and trying to find out what he could about her.  Marilyn Monroe came up along with many talks about various video games that they had played, wanted to play, and she was so excited to find out he had a lot of retro games.  They clicked and hit it off like nobody he had ever experienced.  He felt a happiness that had never entered his body before and his heart sent such signals to him to reach out to her with confidence he had never had before.  He found out that she was living in Ohio and would visit on certain weekends and amazingly only lived a few streets away.  Nobody was around in his room so he began dancing around with such glee like he had discovered a tractor trailer's worth of Christmas presents.  He searched and searched of things he could bring up and share and once he got her phone number it was like hitting the lottery.  He wanted to try and impress her so he took a day to go outside for the afternoon and draw a picture for her and send her picture updates as he went to sort of spend the day with her.  The day was super fun and as she responded to each text, he found more and more drive to finish and create something really great.

They were hitting it off like crazy and he knew he wanted to make the move to the next step before someone else got to her.  So like the cheesy guy that he was, he requested that he be the next one who got to have a date with her whenever she was ready.  It didn't take too long and as their messages got longer, the want to spend a whole day with her grew and grew.  The butterflies in his stomach put up a revolt that if he didn't listen then they were going to cause stomach pains the likes he had never felt.  So, one afternoon he asked her if she would like to come over and see his art and hang out.  She jumped at the idea, wanting to meet and hang out.  The night she was coming over, she needed some direction to come to his house and she called him on the way.  It was their first talking on the phone and he was a bit nervous and gave directions that were so odd and confusing that it was a wonder she even made it over there.  He took her to his room and could barely keep his eyes off of her.  She was beautiful.  Her brown hair was gorgeous, her skin radiant, and the smile that she had on her face brought something about in him that made him look at life in a new way.  She looked around at his room, taking it all in before they moved on to his art.  He made sure to show his best pieces and as he showed her their bodies moved in close to one another.  Their arms kept touching and the electricity pulsed through their bodies.  It wasn't said aloud but they both were barely paying attention to the art but trying to look into the other's eyes without the other one noticing.  They continued to touch skin before moving to the other room where they played a game until it got late enough where she had to go home.  It was the best evening he had ever had.  He had dared take the boat back out onto the high seas and this time he was met with clear skies and the most beautiful sparkling water he had ever seen.  The waves were gentle and the winds calm, he had never had such perfect weather to take his boat out onto.  They hugged and it was in that moment that he knew, this was what every movie was showing him.  This was that girl.  He had been with people before but this felt different in so many ways and most of them he couldn't even put into words.  She was a gift that was sent his way after all of those nights he spent wishing to the stars.  He didn't want the night to end, didn't want to give fate a chance to even consider the possibility of them not meeting again.  Their talks continued and then he lined up a weekend for them to hang out again so he took that chance and scheduled an actual date with her.  He suggested taking her to the zoo and she was so ecstatic for the idea that she told everyone at her office about it.  As the day got closer, the only thing on his mind that he could even think of was seeing her again and spending the day with her.  He was finally in true love.  True love that he would feel only more of to this day for the same beautiful girl.  The zoo date approached, he spent a few hours going over any and every conversation topic he could just to make sure they didn't walk around all day in silence.  Before he knew it the day was there, she drove over and parked on his street and they got in his car ready to start their date day.  His heart was beating so hard he was worried he would have to stop at the hospital on the way.  The first date between him and his true love began and the start to his road to wanting to put a ring on her beautiful finger.
