The Beginning

Angel,

There was a night with food, music, dancing, and polite conversations. There were beautiful people but none could outshine an angel in a red dress, who stood on a stage and showed courage enough to also be vulnerable. She took my breath away.

A few innocent words spoken in another moment of vulnerability and the torch that I had carried since first sight blazed. 

Everything that I thought that I knew suddenly changed. 

No one could ever have imagined or predicted the way that night unfolded. It was in a car of a roller coaster but it was the world that moved around me... us, actually.  All I really remember is you and listening to you and dancing close with you. Nothing else mattered.

And since that one magical night when you changed all the stars I have been the luckiest man alive because I got to know you. 

And still you take my breath away. 

Just me.
