"Hello" : Author - MAW3

Yesterday is history. But there ain't nothing new under the sun.
The past and present need each other, if ever the future is to become.

What comes next I do not know. I'm anxious for its arrival but fearful at the same time for I've learned.... nothing is as it seems. Good deeds get done in vain. And dreams can be slain by whomever holds the blade with the sharp edges.

My charge to myself has wavered at times. Sometimes it is to stay strong, stable and steadfast on my course and greatness will find me. Other times it has been to blaze the trail before me, lest the current surroundings bore me, and sprint toward my goal with all deliberate pace. But if there is nothing new under the sun and history proves to serve correct, then I know of at leas one feeling to expect. A warm churn in my stomach. Slightly discomforting. Yet the signal of one of life's memorable moments getting ready to occur. And if there is nothing new under the sun, I know that when i lay eyes on you, I'll have no choice but to be breathless. I know it will be YOU, because before I turn blue, You will breathe life back into me when you say "hello". I don't know what this will mean to you, but for me this moment shall last for all of time.

This moment,, just like the two before it, will ultimately shape who I am in this world. This moment, just like the two before it, will change you as a woman. But I know, just like the two before you, that you don't know this. You don't know that you will be taking down the pictures of us kissing just as fast as you will rush to kiss me again. And you will be boxing up my gym shorts, old t-shirts, boxers and my toothbrush just as fast as you'll be calling me to come over and get undressed all over.

Like the one before, I don't know if I'll give you my heart and completely give in to the only desire of continuously making you smile... only to be stuck breathless when you say "i don't think 'we' are going to work anymore. I just can't do it..." with no hope of you breathing life back into me. Or like the one before her, I don't know if it will be me that's caught in the whirlwind of green grass on that side of the street or the fool's gold glittering before my eyes... and decide that my heart is no longer with you. Indeed, the grass was green for a number of years. But for every summer, there is a winter... and grass doesn't survive in the cold. I can only hope it comes back even greener in the spring time.

But just like the two before, I know it will be the best moment of both of our lives , even if its only for a moment. And if there is nothing new under the sun, then we will have such a good time together. We will talk with nothing to say; but only to hear the sounds of each other's voices. We'll go places with nothing to do; but only to hold hands as we stroll. You are so pleasing to my eyes. The way you turn heads when you walk thru a room and the way strangers see us together and say "boy, you two sure look good together!"... or "Man, take care of her. That's a good looking woman!" are the moments when we really know we have something special. And it can be for an hour, a day, a year, or a lifetime.... but it will be special. And we will smile on the inside.

Whether I'm what you've been waiting on our entire life or if you are merely taking off your cool & taking a chance with someone a little different from the rest, this timeless moment will be etched into history. I don't know who you are. I don't know what you think of all of this. And you could be anywhere in the world right now. That could be you I see everyday on the way to work... or it could be you right here next to me, with a warm churning feeling in our stomach. Slightly discomforting. Yet the signal of one of life's memorable moments getting ready to occur.

Yesterday is history. and there ain't nothing new under the sun. The past and present need each other, if ever the future is to become. The wind was knocked out of me for a moment. But despite being breathless for that moment, I'm hopeful at the same time. For history tells me that you will breath life into me again when you say... "hello".
