Guess what?
Friday, February 16th, 2007OK, if time is not a constant, then right now, 11 rotations of the sun ago, a boy at UT is talking to a beautiful girl, one who was a good friend who he hasn’t seen in a few months. He’s nervous, because he’s found, while she was gone, that a part of him was missing, and he’d like to make sure that part would stay.
He was always awkward around girls, never the ladies man, and he wasn’t sure how to make his intentions known to her. They were walking down to Krystal to get a bite to eat, and he invited her to a party with him.
In a few minutes, they’re going to be sitting down at a table, and talking about past relationships. He’ll offer to be her boyfriend, with nails in his stomach, and adrenaline flowing. This beautiful girl, this goddess on the earth, will say “sure”. She will be with him for all of her days afterwards.
If I could go back in time, and watch this table in Krystal, from across the store, I’d see the beginning of something beautiful. I’d want to tell that boy that he is doing the thing that will make him what he becomes. And that he will be the luckiest guy in the world. I’d just want to look at the girl, maybe shake her hand, or kiss it, if it weren’t too bold (it’d make the boy pretty darn uncomfortable tho, so I probably wouldn’t).
I’d see two paths converging, and intertwining. I’d see love born. Just 11 rotations backwards, right now.
At this moment.
