the world seems to spin at different speeds sometimes... or so it seems. things can be moving soo fast, yet at times everything can seem to slow down. the moments that you want to keep playing... over and over. i am sure you know what i mean.

in our fast paced world, it doesn't seem very common for things to slow down. to have an experience in which you feel like you could live in that moment not only for now, but forever. be it the comfort of the situation, the feelings being shared there, or just something about that moment. whatever it may be, it is a feeling that touches you in an interesting way... a way that makes you feel warm inside.

this weekend was a prime example of one of those situations. i was sitting here at home, half falling asleep from a long day when the phone rang. i answered the phone and to my surprise, it was the person that i had met before the end of school. i was almost in shock that she was calling... but in a few minutes i found out that she was going to head down here with some friends, and she wanted me to go out with them.

after i overcame my initial shock, i quickly agreed and then she said that they would be leaving shortly. as soon as i hung up the phone, my mind started racing. i was real happy that i finally got to see her again, that i got to spend some time with her... getting to know her better.

i guess i should explain something first. this girl was in a long relationship previously and it had ended not too long before i met her. she has the sweetest personality. a smile that makes your heart feel like it is melting. she is an extremely attractive woman... and most importantly, she makes me smile and i feel so comfortable around her. from the first time i met her, there was something that attracted me to her... something that made me feel as if i had to get to know her better. now, i was going to have my chance.

anyway, to shorten this a little. she showed up with her friends and i felt these little "butterflies" in my stomach. we ended up going out and we all had a great time. there were a few small hassles through the night, but in the end everything worked out fine. they all ended up staying at my place and we had a little more to drink and threw a small dance party.

later that night, we all went to bed. with her in my arms, i felt like the night could never get better. we fell asleep, and right before i drifted off, i could feel it in my heart that i was happy.. that she made me happy.

i'm not sure what will come of all of this, but i know now, even more than i knew previously... that she is a great woman, and that i hope that i am lucky enough to get the opportunity to spend more time with her. i hope that her and i can establish something that i haven't had in a long time... true happiness.
