Atlantic

The lone neon nights

and the ache of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark

3 years ago.

3 years ago, it was right in front of me at a time of fear.

It surrounded me.

The reality that I fell out of love and didn't care for someone anymore occurred on a boat.

During the uneasy tension, a tune from Snow Patrol (A band from Dublin) played in the background.

Little did I know that my future was playing in my ears.

A month later, I did something I hate doing.

I broke someone's heart for the first time.

I broke up with him in the restaurant he took me to.

It was an Irish restaurant.

Right there.

My mind is so utterly and completely blown today.

Across the Atlantic ocean lies what my heart truly wants and knows what is perfect.

Little did I know that someone very special from Ireland itself would be waiting for me 3 years later.

Isn't it funny how life can foreshadow things?

I can see it all now.

I am about to endure a perfect storm.

Never have I ever been so ready for something.

Breaking someone's heart in the past was tough, but now I know that it was the best decision I've ever made.

Nobody knows why

Nobody knows how

This feeling begins just like a spark

tossing and turning inside of your heart.

a beautiful description of connecting with someone...it's always a shame that relationships end like they do sometimes but it most often is for the best...

Kathryn, I'm going to have to read this again, I'm afraid I lost the train of thought as you wrote: did this restaurant meeting take place in Ireland? Do YOU live in Ireland, and when you speak of across the Atlantic are you speaking of a guy in the US? Does this story occur in the US and you are speaking of Ireland? I'm sorry I'm mixed up, one of those days. That song, though; what a hauntingly beautiful song!! I'm going to have to YouTube Susie Suh and Robert Koch for more. A very niece piece, nice presentation. take caer...dan

So basically here in the US (where I live) I was dating a guy for a while and then broke up with him in an Irish styled restaurant here in the area. Fast forward to today and there is someone across the ocean in Ireland waiting for me. :)
