I wait for the computer to boot up. I wait for the little AOL man to run across the screen. Finally, connected. I wait for the website to refresh. I wait for my email to send. I wait for his response. I wait to hear his voice on the other end of the phone. I wait to see him for the first time.
On November 11th, 2001 I still wait. I wait for the day to pass, for the sun to set. I wait for all the lights to change as I drive to the mall to meet him for the first time. I wait for a parking spot. I glance in the mirror as I exit my car. Butterflies in my stomch heighten as I walk towards the door. I see him. The man that I met online, that I spoke to on the phone for hours a night. A month has past since we first talked. I finally get to see him. I secretly wanted to shout to the world that I had met him. That I was with him now. The voice I had dreamed of over and over. The voice I had somehow grown attached to, the voice that I some how feel in love with. We talked as if we were long lost friends reacquainted, friends never to be apart again. We were together. Him by myside. Not a phone call away, not an email away...together.
As the night ended we hugged and finished with a long sweet kiss good bye. Until next time, I thought. The whole way home thoughts entered my head. Oh my god I found him-the man that I have dreamed of. Upon arriving home I raced to the computer. Waiting to see if he was on. He was....he asked to meet and the count down began again.
I realized that night that my long wait was over. I did meet the man of my dreams. Everyday I am reminded how wonderful he is. How caring and sweet he can be. That night is my memory froever. Today we make new memories. Better ones. Everday another one added. I don't wait for them to happen. I just know they will. I don't have to wait anymore. I know what I have here and now is what I have been waiting for.
