the sight of a red and black jacket bobbing towards me is enough to set my heart a-flutter. the black and white checkered stripes draw my eyes up to a face that makes me happy. the blue-jean clad legs amble closer. i smile. i can't help it. he makes me happy. his eyes wink and smile at me as he talks, making me laugh and getting me slightly high... he jokes with me and the way his eyes light up and twinkle makes me forget what else we were saying. ...once not to long ago i ate dinner in the caf with him. we talked for over an hour. it was the highlight of my week. i didn't know time could go so fast.
i have put on the rose-colored glasses of fancy. everything is now colored in that light - the light of how wonderful you are.
today while i was cleaning house, i came across a journalish note i had written a while ago... the first two sentences really caught my eye, because immediately i had a picture in my mind, and knew who and what it was describing. i saw it all in my head. i read the note all the way through, wondering at the back of mind when i had written this. i found the date at the end: 27 march 2005. that's over 3 years ago, but the feelings i had at that point were so similar to what i feel now, i was amazed. 3 years? at the same time, i can also see how my feelings now are different - more mature, a tiny bit more level-headed (but when are our emotions truly ever level-headed?
), slightly less cheesy, and with a lot more history between us...
i read the note again, and am transported back in time, remembering those things 3 years ago. he still has that jacket, still jokes with me, and still sets my heart a-flutter...
what was the last thing you came across that really "brought you back" to good times long ago?
