No choice..........
You once asked me why I chose you.
And I replied with a simple “ because you made my stomach flip flop”.
For years you made a joke of that simplistic reply and told people
'because I gave her an upset stomach'.
always the king of one liners!
The truth is........ I had no choice.
The first time we met off campus for coffee we talked and I was smitten with you.
You were bright and witty and kind and gentle.
When we parted to leave in our separate cars you held me in your arms.
I remember that feeling of WHOMP!
Those arms enveloped me, those arms grounded me.
Not long after we went up to your cabin in Northern Wisconsin.
Our first and last real date.
We walked in the woods and you were worried we would get lost.
I never had trouble with my internal compass and told you 'no problem, we'll be fine'.
Then you kissed me under that tree.
My head and heart spun around a dozen
different ways. I was 'lost' in every sense of the word.
No one ever held me like you did.
No one ever kissed me like you did.
No one ever touched me like you did.
There was no choice ..........
I was in love.
I still am.
I miss you my Badger
