As she looks into my eyes for the first
time in years, I wonder if her mind is swirling with as much thought
as mine.. if her heart also feels like it is floating away. It's
been so long, yet not a step have we missed, truly this moment was
crafted for us.. for perfection. The sun sets just behind her, doing
its best to rob her of her beauty.. in her presence it is but mere
shades of gray. Finally, I reach for her hands, holding them firmly
in my own.. all the while I frantically search for the words to say
to her. She looks as if she too is about to speak, yet no words come
out, she is quiet just as I am. After what seems to be an eternity
of silence I finally find the perfect word to say.. “Hello.” She
smiles..
