Do You Believe?

A while back I met someone that totally changed my life. I have been going through some things in my life and had no plans of getting involved in a relationship.

I was getting out of the car and
noticed a man standing by the wall of
the Greyhound Bus Station. I thought
that he was very handsome and thought
that I would like to talk to him.
But decided against it because I looked
awful. I had been packing and all for
most of the morning to get ready for
the trip.

He walked over to me and asked if he
could carry my bags in for me. At first
I was going to tell him no, but I went
ahead and let him. All I could keep
thinking to myself was....I look
horrible!

He carried my bags in and after I got
checked in and everything we sat and
talked for the rest of the time that I
was there.

He showed me some poetry that he had
written and I just wanted to cry
because I remember thinking to mysel
that it was so sweet and whoever he
wrote it about was very lucky.

He told me that he wouldn't show
anymore of his poetry till the next
time that we met.

When it was time for my bus to leave he carried my bags out to the bus for me.He stayed out there with me until I got on the bus.

Then he stood by the wall and just kept
looking in at me. For a few minutes I
thought about staying and waiting for
the next bus because I wanted to talk
to him some more, but decided I better
stay on the bus.

I thought about him all the way to my
final stop and realized that I was glad
that we exchanged #'s and addresses.

A few days later he called and left a
message on the machine. I was surprised and happy to hear from him.

I didn't hear from him again for
while. I started thinking about him a
few days after he had left the message
and decided I was going to write his
letter and send him a copy of the web
page that I had done so he could see
something that I had written.

I mailed his letter and didn't know if
I would hear from him again or not.
About a week after I mailed his let
I came back home from shopping and saw that I had messages on the machine and it was him.

He had called again and he left a
number where I could call him. I called
the number and left a message at the
front desk for him to give me a call
when he got back in.

I sat around and waited while I was
watching television and talking to my
roommate.

I had just about given up on him
calling me back that day and was ready
to go to bed when the phone rang.

It was him and I was ecstatic to hear
his voice. We talked for a while.
During the conversation on the phone
told me that he had plans of sweeping
me off my feet.

He didn't realize that he already had.
I told him that I was very glad to hear
from him and that I was actually
surprised that he had called because I
looked horrible.

He told me that he loved the way I
looked and he enjoyed talking to me. He
also said that he couldn't stop
thinking about me.

He and I have so many things in common. We share the same interests and like the same music.

He and I were also not looking for
another relationship because we were
both hurt before. It just goes to
you that when you least expect it love
will find it's way to you. You just
have to be patient.

We have been talking ever since and we will be meeting again soon. The funny part about this story is that he lives about 30 miles or so from my parents. We also have relatives in some of the same areas across the country.

Not only do I feel like this was love
at first sight, I also believe that
fate has a lot to do with it. He
mentioned that to me and at first I
said....

No, I don't believe that; however, the
more I think about it, the more I
believe it's true. I told him a few
days ago on the phone.

Maybe we had to go through all the bad
things that we have been through in our
lives to get to this point in our lives
where we can be happy.
He agreed.
