I Love Her
"Magnet"
This story I feel needs to be put somewhere cause it is a constant memory in my mind.
A love story.
A few years ago, I was in an LDR (Long distant relationship). She was actually in another country and for now, shall call her "N".
N and I (myself), we had a difficult time being apart; we actually met on EP and connected with each other mentally, spiritually, and definitely physically.
Anywho, we met in person for the first time two years ago. I drove to the airport to pick her up and it was surreal.
I was at the airport maybe five hours earlier than I needed to be, but I wanted to be there on time (also, needed that time to talk to her sister over the 'net so I could chill out). When we finally did meet though...
It might have escaped my mind but I never did tell her that I wanted to shed some tears then. My heart filled up quicker than a fairy in a bottle ever could (Zelda-reference). She was also a bit taller than what I imagined; even so, it felt just so natural being around her.
Anyways, I'll forego many details cause the important part I want to share was this moment on Christmas day. She was over and we did not have many gifts to share with one another, but I wanted to bring her to the beach, a spot where I told her I always wanted to take her when she visited me. Course, I wanted to get there before sunset (so we could see it together).
But we were so comfortable in the house; we took our time to get out, to the car, and finally on the road.
We got there and it was cold! Gah, those Pacific waves and currents! Coincidently, even though we were travelling on Christmas, we had not realized that the town near the beach, everything was closed except one hotel/restaurant that served over-priced, dry food. The kind of menu that older folks enjoy but the younger folks ask "Was there any seasoning added to this at all?"
After that, it was night out. I was kinda broke, but I wanted to take her to a beach area where we could see the night sky with no one else to bother us.
After a few turns, we arrived at a spot in front of a surf shop. The road was deserted (though a few drivers every other 20 minutes would drive by).
In the car, we both looked up into the sky. I held her hands in mine and looked her in the eyes. Deep inside, I knew what I was doing was so hokey-romantic and cheesy, but it was the only guide I could go by.
I told her that as long as there are stars in the sky, I'll always love her.
...
She did not immediately respond to that. We both had our reasons, but at that moment, we shared an immense bond that will be difficult to forget for all time.
Course, cops came by and I had to do some quick talking to avoid a ticket xD. But since we could not stay in that area (and my car was not insulated so the cold was getting in), I decided to drive back to the house (a four hour drive).
We had to go through some woods (while a fog and no street lights) and this is where I felt so connected with her. She stayed up with me until we got to the main freeway. She was with me the whole way through the forest and once we got out, I let her know she can get some sleep till we're back at the house.
The closest I ever was to a human being. So thankful for that Christmas and will never forget that day or her.
Hopefully, whenever that day comes, when I do see her, I can see her for truly who she is at the present and vice-versa with her seeing me.
