“What’s with all these tall hot guys in my life?”
“Don’t question it!”
She has a point.

I ink the lease and mail in the check. I’m nearly giddy with excitement. I bounce around as I tell you about my week, unable to contain my elation in just one grin.
“It’s nice to see you like this,” you say.
“I was really stressed before,” I explain.
And suddenly we’re comfortable around each other. Unconcerned with first impressions and opinions and judgments, we connect effortlessly and just in time for my departure.
“I don’t do long distance,” you say, unaware that I don’t do short distance. I don’t do relationships and I don’t do heartache. I don’t do honeymoon phases and I don’t do commitment. I don’t do all these things, but you don’t know that about me and that’s okay by me.
I smile and nod as the cold, cement bench starts to chill my skin. We watch my neighbor’s cat play with my slipper and talk wherever our comments lead us. You don’t ask me many questions, and I like that about you.
“You can’t live your life waiting for the other shoe to drop,” I say, unaware just how applicable this statement is toward my life. You nod in agreement as I clasp my iridescent jewelry around your neck.
“How do I look?” you smirk. I giggle.
This will be a fond memory to have.
