A Happy Post

Despite everything going on that’s negative, I feel pretty good today. In the midst of packing, sorting, job hunting and such, my friend came into town. We met Friday for a late lunch which was just nice to sit and talk, catch up, reconnect. Before I left, needing to get more done before the evening, we sat in my car and necked a bit and the flood of memories it brough back was overwhelming. After she left, I just sat there for a bit, trying to gather my emotions back inside before going back home.

That night, I got to see her again at a game. With people all around who knew us both, all they could see was two friends spending some time together, enjoying some good soccer. At halftime, she had to get something from her car and of course I walked with her. With the trunk lid up, and hidden from view, we snuck a kiss before going back to the field. Later, after sharing a bottle of wine and some good company with friends, we boldly kissed and held each other in the parking lot before going our seperate ways.

On Saturday, I worked like a madman, then took the afternoon off to go watch my child play soccer in another town. Guess who offered to travel with me? Yes, a 90 minute ride down, the game, 90 minutes back including a quick bite of chicken on the way back and my heart was soaring.  It was so nice to ride in the car, hold hands, maybe let the hand wander a bit (but not too much, I was a good boy) and then home to face the music because I told the S.U. that my friend rode with me.

Yes, risky, dicey, all that, but it’s ok. It was worth everything.

In a few weeks, we’ll see each other again. I’d love to go up and spend a day with her. We’ll see, but for now, I’m good, batteries recharged. Sure, no sex, but that’s not everything, is it?
