Just when you think you have life mapped out, something maybe-wonderful comes along.

So here we are. Two people that have thought out the rest of our lives. We have made decisions and promises to ourselves that perfectly mapped out what our world was supposed to be. Our kids. Our careers. Our dreams, hopes and aspirations. The problem? Neither of us charted the other on this map.
So here we are. Agreeing to meet, really out of curiosity more than anything. Laughing. Trading jokes. The chemistry is strong but it’s OK. We are just hanging out, right?
I promise you we can find one hundred reasons not to allow ourselves to continue enjoying this unexpected connection.

So here we are. Finding moments to talk. Funny stories about our day. Meeting up whenever possible. Looking forward to meals together, moments alone, trading songs. This wasn’t in either of our plans. Not yet. Not right now.
So here we are. What do we do about it? I promise you we can over think it. I promise you we can find one hundred reasons not to allow ourselves to continue enjoying this unexpected connection.
So here we are. Why not run? Why not jump off the ride before we see what’s around the corner? Why not save ourselves the time of getting to know one another? Can we stop now and not feel like we walked away from something we never knew was meant to be?
So here we are. Telling each other more and more about ourselves. Making the decision to quit analyzing and just go ahead and connect. We are both busy. We both have so much on our plates right now, yet still, we find time to feed this energy that we’ve felt from the beginning. I won’t tell you I’m a little scared. You won’t tell me I’m the first person you thought of today. We will just continue to grow and enjoy each other’s company. By the way, I’ve got a few minutes if you’d like to meet up.
So here we are.
