Another Moments Post

You and I, we've had some really great moments recently. I wonder if they stick with you the way they do with me? If your mind wanders back to them at seemingly random times, nearly always resulting in the corners of your lips turning up just a bit and a dreamy expression showing up in your eyes, as happens with me…

I thought I might do another list of a few of the ones that have stuck with me recently… In no particular order…

• You saying only your “inner circle” gets to see your secret nerd… Effectively welcoming me to that circle. Though, I have my own secret, my love: I've known. I've known for years. You might hide it from most people, but I've always paid you close attention, ever since the day we met.
• At dinner after the movie, when you demonstrated how you could wave to me and not worry that you were sending “weird signals.” Indeed, my love. Indeed.
• I've already mentioned this one, but when the subject of my jogging came up at your party and you kinda quietly started saying “♒️ and I have a thing…” before trailing off. We do, don't we? We have a thing.
• Finally getting to pull off our thing this morning, for the first time in over a month (… not that I'm keeping track, ahem). And I don't really pay too much attention to this anymore, but I couldn't help but notice that it was right at 8:33am… and I was 22 minutes into the jog… Goodness.
• The way you brightened when I mentioned I'd been listening to Lovely Day in my car a lot lately. I have no idea why it had that effect on you, but any day I can put a smile on your face is… well… is a lovely day in my books (of course the downside was that that smile made my brain shut off and I just started blabbering and I have no idea what I ended up saying about it, lol).
• “Photo evidence!”
• You showing me the photo you took of the sunset… such a simple little moment, but sometimes those simple little moments have the biggest impact… (Remember you showing me that plush star at the amusement park? That one is still with me, nearly two years later…)
• You saying that I “play so well…” I really don't, lol, but I absolutely adore that you said so, and just how supportive you are in general. And I really need to figure out how to compliment you… like… actually do so, in person, not in letters you aren't even reading (yet!).
• That completely unexpected message about that music event you thought I would like… I hope you know I've been looking for an excuse to take advantage of that newly-opened channel of communication. And not only did you breach that tiny little gap, but you also demonstrated (again!) that you're paying attention to me, and I'm not going to lie, that feels amazing. And I need to do that for you, too.
• “This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friend…” oh, goodness, and the way you were laughing… sigh Gosh, I just love you.
• You telling me about that unfortunate thing that's happening in your life… you could have just given me a quick throwaway answer, but you didn't, you opened up and told me about it in detail. I know this one isn't very pleasant, but I appreciate that you chose to share it with me so much. Similar to you explaining to me why you never took advantage of that slide. I will never not appreciate you sharing details about yourself with me. You are so very special to me, and I am eternally grateful to have you open up to me.
• And, just to end on a fun one… And at the risk of reigniting the mood I finally think I've gotten back under control (ahem)…
   
  "Sorry for huffin' and puffin' right in your ear!"
   
  Can I tell you a secret? I didn't even think about it this way until you said that, but then you did… While still doing it… And the memory of you doing it for a while, so very, very fresh in my mind… I mean, there was clearly nothing sexual about the circumstances, but holy Moses… Lord, I can still hear it when I think of it…
   
  And what did I say about that mood being back under control?

Oh, my love. That's just a sampling. We've had so many, and are having more and more with each passing month. Looking at them as a preview of what life might be like if and when we get together…

I believe with all of my heart that we are so good for each other. And it's going to be good. It's going to be so good.

We just have to get there.

Always looking forward to the next moment, while dreaming of the last…

Yours in endless love,
♒️
