My Dinner Date Day/Night Dream

My dinner date day/night dream

We were having such a great time getting to know each other! My Family even liked her! I finally introduced her to them after a while, but only in small increments. Didn't want to freak her out and scare her away, well because it's family; especially my family!!


There was so much about her that I liked. She was beautiful, and she had this inner warmth, this inner beauty that was hard to describe. She was smart and we talked about a variety of topics. She also had a humorous side to her and we laughed together too. But she had this beautiful compassion and vulnerability that made her very special. And her eyes, something about her eyes: so sweet, alluring, mysterious, incredible sparkling blue eyes.


She had her share of heart aches and life challenges and we entrusted each other with that info and helped each other; learned from each other. And in such a short time, we grew together too, which was nice.


We took road trips together. She loved to travel. We would take off to Santa Barbara on our weekend get-aways, and  revel in long, warm, beautiful, sunny days; some times we wouldn't talk for stretches of time. Some times I wondered where her sad eyes transported her as she starred out of the car window at the natural beauty that engulfed us. Occasionally I would also swim in old memories--melancholy types of memories. But those sad memories faded in the midst of the magnificent, sparkling, pacific ocean close by, and soft hills of sand and ivy, natures scenic gateway to our ocean view. There were also resilient healthy, dark, luscious green trees still standing after all of this time. It was peaceful, almost perfect.


And at times we would stop just because and check out a very cool spot that looked out over this ocean wonderment and the spectacular view of rocks, cliffs, and nature. Out here there was no rushing to the next stop light. Things were slow, I guess, as nature intended.


So I wrapped her in my arms and evaporated in her warmth, beauty, and softness as we enjoyed what was in front of us. Her hair slightly, gently falling over her eyes as the cool breeze coming from the west soothed her face. She smelled so wonderfully and her smile and incredible ocean blue eyes soothed me; both of us relaxed, digesting this moment of utter beautiful stillness and peace...


...next thing I know the server asks if I want to pack my food up and I was some what startled and realized I was, oh yes, yet, on another first date. My day dreaming or night dreaming carried me forward to a place that needed time to develop: a place that is earned through mutual respect, mutual interests, connections and chemistry (physical, intellectual, and emotional) that lead to that incredibly special place in my dinner date day dream. And it will come one day, I know it, I just know it.
