Finally! They get to see each other.

     The long awaited meeting
 

An adrenaline Rush! An upcoming conference She would finally get to see him late this November! A late call to him, he excitedly listened He would finally be able to wrap his arms around her! ~~~~~~~~ He would meet her late afternoon flight He thought, we can dine and dance all night! Finally the time to see him was soon to be here Her pounding, aching heart would fill her with cheer ~~~~~~~~ He arrived early at her gate.....So that he could wait (and wait!) Will I know what to do? Will I know what to say? ~~~~~~~~ The announcement is made to all in the airborne room And all in the plane feel impending doom He got the cautious news from those on the ground Can this be true? He asks as his hands start to pound She sits buckled in and she prays and she prays She asks HIM to help the pilots to find a way The big metal bird finally lands -Major delays All is all right, they all received HIS praise ~~~~~~~~ Anxiously he awaits, trying to put himself at ease... She thinks, Will he? Is he? Oh Please! He pushes up close along with all the others She desperately tries to maintain her druthers ~~~~~~~~ Their eyes finally meet, two uneasy smiles It seems like its been two billion miles She says to him softly, I'm sorry I'm so late. He says nothing to her. He only holds her tight.

The longest distance often lies within; but when we chance upon someone that we love, that distance becomes palpable, touchable, and real. In a moment of anticipation, we are filled with so much: thoughts of rejection, wanting the moment to be as perfect as we dream, always wondering what the other will think.

Your words allowed me to ride the distance between her plane and your breath. When the miles closed between the two, I whispered a sigh of relief to know that she had safely landed in your arms.

With so much sadness in the news today between the one plane disappearing and the other being shot down and the hundreds of lives lost, I really thought this was heading towards disaster.

I am relieved that the ending was a happy one and can but hope that it would have been the same for all those lost.

Beautiful!

What happened to the girl?

[Blogger]

This was a fantasy. The girl lives in Australia. We never made it happen. :0(

[Matching Socks]

I take it you are NOT from Australia then. :-)
Oh well, I had a long distance crush/relationship once upon a time so I can relate to your poem.
Good write. You captured the nervousness and excited energy so well.

i loved writing that. She was someone who worked at a gym. And she also worked on motorcycles and she was thinking of coming to America to work with a racing team for a few weeks.......and if she was going to come over here she said she would look me up. I guess she didnt make it.

[Matching Socks]

I like the happy ending better. :-)
