First Date...

As I enter our local café, I'm reminded of hundreds of stories surrounding me. Laughing and smiling, remembering that day when I asked if I could sit with you.

You looked around to see if there were any empty tables. "Umm...Sure," you replied, your indecision quite evident. “Are you comfortable with me sitting here?” I asked, trying to make an eye contact.
“I will be," She said slowly, gaining back her confidence.

She told me she wasn't comfortable with strangers and maybe we should stay that way.
She had deep blue eyes and I blurted out, "you sure are pretty" She blushed.

I asked her what she thought about first dates and she said they were usually awkward. Then she asked, "are you asking me out?" I had butterflies in my stomach, I smiled and said, "would that be okay with you?"

After completing twenty years together we thought about how we could celebrate. We decided to return to that local café and relive those feelings that were lost over time. We wanted to fall in love all over again.
