Meeting one day upon the internet, he answered her
ad online. Never believing she would respond to
his reply. He opened his email and gave out a sigh.
Her reply, was his life long dream, everything she said
was what he has always been looking for. Yet some
how, he was skeptical as he has been played before,
with online games, lies and deceit.
She saw his reply to her online ad, and hesitated, as his
reply was to good to be true. Yet if she did not respond,
she might never know if he was real, or were his words
like so many others, full of lies, deceit and betrayal.
Her heart jumped as she sat and responded. Fear of past
hurt leaped into her mind and heart. But some how his
reply made her curious. For all he said was what she was
looking for.
He answered her email and asked for her phone number,
he thought it would be better then playing email tag. This
he could hear her sincerity in her voice as they spoke.
He was nervous, and full of anticipation, as so many emails
he has received, but none touched him likes hers did.
She opened her email, when she came online. Excited to see
another response from him, they have been conversing for
over a month this way. She was noticing his request for her
number, and her heart fell, what if he did not like her voice,
or she could not speak because of fear, so many things going
in her mind now. Hesitant she replied with her number.
The next day he read her email, and jumped for the phone,
then stopped as fear over took him, what if she did not like
his voice or stuttered when talking, so much to think of
before making the plunge. Yet he knew if he did not, there will
be no peace in his mind. So he dialed the phone and cleared
his throat. After four rings, a voice so sexy and intoxicating,
answered the phone, asking for her by name, as she replied
" This is she". His heart melted with her voice, so soft, so
sweet. He could not believe it was her. After all this time, now
there was a voice to her mail.
Answering the phone on the fourth ring, not knowing if it was
him, nervous and afraid. She answered, and on the other end
a masculine voice requesting her name. Her heart jumped as
she replied. His voice melted her heart. She talked to him for
hours, but seemed like only minutes. Then he popped the
question and asked for a meeting date. She felt so comfortable
she agreed to meet.
The two were in a daze, so much in common, yet hard to believe,
their heads were swooning, their hearts felt light. Yet both afraid
the other would not be attracted to each other. Time is nearing,
fear is rising, should they cancel, so many questions spinning in
their heads. What should I wear, what should I say, thoughts of
impressions going through their minds. Today is the day, that the
guessing game is over, been three months since their first e-mails.
Feelings have filled their hearts, love was not far away. Maybe just
maybe, this was the one.
He dressed in jeans and a cowboy shirt, mustached trimmed and
hair styled nice. Waiting for this mystery woman to appear,
neither seeing each other before, no pictures exchanged, only
words on a screen and voices on a phone. Sitting in a restaurant,
waiting for this mystery date, his stomach in knots.Not knowing
who he was going to see. He just knew in his heart, that she was
the one.
He was told she would be holding a carnation in her hand, and he
would know her then. As he ordered an ice tea, a woman walked
in holding a carnation, she was short and obese, not at all like her
voice or her e-mails, which he pictured differently. Should he rise,
should he stay, so much he thought of as she walked closer. Then
he realized it was not the outside that mattered but her heart, which
he fell in love with.
He rose and walked to her, and introduced himself, then gave her
a hug, as he did so he caught eye of the most beautiful woman, he
had ever laid eyes on, she was wearing a chiffon cross top dress, an
emerald color which brought the green out in her eyes, she lifted her
head and her eyes caught his, something happened inside of him, but
he knew he must be true to this lady which he met, so he turned and
walked her to his table.
He noticed the other woman sitting alone, but tried not to stray with his eyes. He centered his attention back to his date. As he spoke with her, he realized her voice was much softer on the phone. But he stayed silent. The waitress came to take their order, and the woman politely said, "Please we must wait for my daughter to come" the man looked puzzled. Silence filled the room as the woman with the emerald chiffon dress, got up and walked towards them, then passed them by and walked around the corner out of site.
Who was he going to meet, what daughter he had thought, she never mentioned a daughter in the three months of their communications. He looked over the menu as he felt a presence near, looked up and there standing next to the woman, was the woman in the chiffon dress.
He looked up at her, and looked into her eyes, he knew it was her,
he was to meet, as the love he felt came rushing back.
They both smiled, and the woman said "Son this is my daughter, the
woman you have been waiting to meet, we are sorry for this game we
played, but we needed to know, if you were real in your heart. And
we both seen that you were."
He stood up speechless, he could not believe, this woman could be
so beautiful, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders and smiled. She
looked into his eyes and returned the smile, as her hand lightly
touched his face and she kissed his cheek.
That was five years ago, today they have been married almost as long.
And she still touches his face and gives him a kiss on his cheek, as
they both smile and gaze into their eyes, so much love still to share.
The moral to this story, is love can be found on the internet, if all the
games would stop, and one looks with the heart and not the eyes.
