Finding Your True Love

Winter was in full effect, Christmas literally being days away. The temperature was nice for Arizona. Of course, such comments as “ARE YOU KIDDING?! IT’S FREEZING HERE!” were uttered, when in all reality, it was only 60 degrees outside. Families were preparing for Christmas celebrations and traditions, while one particular young teen was preparing to meet the girl he had been dreaming about meeting for months. Oh, what a day, you know? Sweaty palms, constantly having to wipe the sweat from your forehead, and making sure you looked somewhat decent and presentable, without looking like a weirdo for trying to wear a suit on the first date, how ironic.

A young man just turned 18 years old a couple months prior to that day. Standing 6 feet tall, brown hair, best shape of his life, confident, right? Oh no…no. Excited? Yes. C’mon, that day was something out of a fairy tale. The girl, well let’s just call her Perfection for now. Perfection had agreed to meet up at a local fast food restaurant called Canes. As the time got closer and closer, one could only imagine the nerves this man had. Driving for about 20 minutes to Canes, the entire time his heart was racing, like watching a horror movie in a horrifically dark movie theater and you feel like it’s going to pop out of your chest, oh but this wasn’t the bad type of nervousness, this was the amazing kind. Getting to Canes, parking the car, and sitting in the parking lot waiting for Perfection to show up. Hands shaking, sweating compulsively. The day was a nice calm day, not too chilly but also not hot at all. The trees were more unalive than my old cat, Trouble, oh, shoot…

“You got this, Brad, today is the day; you’ve been working so hard for this day,” repeated over and over again to himself. At one point in time, he decided to just go inside and get a table already for them while he waited for her. He goes in, orders his meal with a side of some nice voice cracks, that’s always nice. Sitting down at the table, farthest corner of the building, somewhat in the back so that way it wouldn’t be too loud or anything. Constantly checking his phone to see if she was there yet.

Oh the memories of giving myself those motivational hype up speeches to calm myself down. “IT’S TIMEEEE!” Shouting in my head like some UFC announcer. “Months of hard work, months of waiting to even see her, this is it, this is your time, man, YOU got this.” Suddenly, it HAPPENED. A hand was placed on my shoulder, not a big meaty hand like you would find on some freakishly buff dude, but this angelic sweet type of touch, a touch I wanted for the rest of my life. It seemed like that moment was played in slow motion a million times in my head, even in this very day while typing this essay. THERE SHE WAS! Standing 5’1, gorgeous flowing dark brown hair, almost mistaken for black. Eyes like pure diamonds in her head, eyes that I couldn’t nor wouldn’t ever get my attention away from. Almost like I was seeing the lord Jesus Christ himself, but in woman form. She was a true goddess. “Oh my… I… Hi!” stuttering and being truly speechless by witnessing her true beauty. She smiled and began to laugh. Not laugh as in some evil mastermind villain or MegaMind, but the type of laugh that makes you blush and think about how adorable it is. YES. The entire night, I couldn’t help but lose my train of thought because I would go off and start thinking about how lucky I am to be in the presence of such true beauty. The entire date, it was relaxed and calm, calm? Ha! We spent the rest of the night eating at Canes, then sitting outside and talking until sadly she had to head home.

Thinking about that night, oh wow it was just beyond memorable. She is truly amazing, truly…PERFECTION.
