Confession # 94

I don’t scare easily… But tonight I met a man who scared me to death.

I have never met anyone I was so comfortable and uncomfortable with all at the same time.

He walked into the wine bar and it was magic.

There was not the normal awkwardness of a first meeting, or nervous tension of a first date. It was natural, like we have been together for years and we were just meeting for our normal Friday night out.

When he touched me I did not flinch because he broke, without permission, those three feet of personal space I value so much. No, when he put his arm around me I melted into him.

When he kissed me it was perfect. I quivered. I can still feel his kisses on my lips—soft as butterflies, and sweet as peppermint.

I really like this man! I really, really like this man.

I have always said, I was perfectly happy to be single, that I have no real desire to really couple again. Well, unless someone comes along to change my mind.

I think he is that someone.
