I’ve been engaged twice and have dated many. I thought that I was ‘in love’ in my last serious relationship that was 5 years ago. Feeling the feelings I do now, I can say I was very far off.

I always heard of this crazy feeling, but I never did believe it. It wasn’t until a mild winter night when I met my best friends brother for coffee in a quaint little coffee shop. Her and I have been friends for 10 years, and I’ve been a part of his family all this time and we’ve never. Her and I have always joked about being sisters… so much so that my family calls her their ‘other daughter’.

She was getting married in the Caribbean and him and I turned out to be the only single people flying from the same city.

When he walked into the coffee shop, everything stopped. Something explainable told me in my gut – this is the one. This is the man I’ve been saving it all for. Something I’ve never felt before. I don’t know him, but I know that I care about this person more than I’ve cared for anyone. I wish I knew how to explain it.

He is out of his last ten year relationship and only separated for a year. I know that he is trying to figure out his own self, something I understand all to well.

He recently left to take a job in another province, and I went back to running my business. I was upset when he left, but something keeps telling me that I care about this person enough to let him go. I’ve been on a few dates – and even though I don’t think about him constantly, he is always in my mind. No one else interests me.

I wish I knew what the future held, and I wonder if he will come back. I can feel that that he also knows there is an unexplainable connection – but I also feel that I too am invincible. He is where I was a few years ago when my last relationship ended… trying to figure out the self.

I guess time will tell. All I know is that he is the black haired man. I can feel it in every cell of my body.

Great post, thanks again.
