Soulmate
It’s like the world didn’t exist before now, like everything else was just a journey leading me to this singular destination at this exact moment to lock my eyes with his deep blue ones shaded by his long dark lashes. I feel my stomach twist and my throat clench with that sense of nauseau that comes with intense butterflies, I’m glued to this spot on this busy sidewalk unable to look away. My heart flutteres when he flips his mop of bouncy curls and gives me a wink before returning to stacking his crates. It is now that I recognize what this is and I can’t let this moment go. Without thinking I rush across the street, I can hear a car’s brakes screech and a horn honk to tell me I didn’t even notice a car driving right toward me. I ignore the angry driver and charge on to introduce myself to my soulmate.
