I cried on my way home, I don’t believe I ever told you that.  I had so much happening in my life that was overwhelming and somehow spending time with you brought a calm that I needed badly. We didn’t talk much those two days after I  got back and before you came over. There were many reasons but the main one was I was trying to convince myself that I didn’t like you.  I came across cool and collected as though I didn’t have the million neurons firing inside saying “there is just something about this man”. 
You drive over to the “Westside” on a Wednesday.  We met in the Costco parking lot and I took you to my “stomping grounds” and showed you some of my favorite things like the Tenino Quarry.  We ate lunch at Don Juans Mexican Kitchen my absolute favorite Mexican food establishment. I took you back to your truck and we made plans for the next day.  I can’t explain the connection we had from the very beginning what I do know is that it was instantaneous for both of us and I wish I had found you so much earlier in life.
We spent the entire day together just enjoying each other and getting to know one another better. The day flew by and it was time for you to go home.  When it was time to go you had bought me a beautiful bouquet of Roses and Lilly’s, two cards ( one playful and one silly) and a stuffed monkey.

It was one of the sweetest things anyone had ever done.  I can still see you standing next to your truck telling me how you didn’t know what we would be in each other’s lives but that “for as long as we were, you were going to show me how much I deserved to be treated like a princess.”
I had even told you that day that “I wasn’t willing to put all my eggs in one basket” as I had just ended a long unhealthy marriage and I needed to make sure I wasn’t getting caught up in the moment.  Oh the things I said that I really did not mean. I didn’t want you to leave and I could hardly wait for the next time we would see each other.  You were carving out a special place in my heart Jeremy. A place that will remain yours from the moment we met until the end of time.  You were my Prince charming and I am beyond grateful for the privilege of meeting you.
