Take a chance, you might win...

Christmas was approaching and as we all know presents are Its symbol. My dear lady, as I love to call her, had another gift prepared for me by then and of course I had something for her too, only this time I was going to send her something more plain, simple, symbolic if you will. A poem, specially composed for her eyes to see and lips too read(Last month I misplaced most of the poems I wrote and it’s hard to remember now all of them, it’s been almost a year since I last read them, but I will try my best to remember) . I was planning on taking a trip to her town as a present for Christmas too, but she claimed to be caught in the “family shackle” so I canceled my plan, or should I better say, delayed … the next couple of months went by with everyday messaging and long nights at the phone, and this all proved me that I was more and more sure that I wanted to see her, in flesh. So this is march 2010, I was chatting, text messaging, and losing nights at the phone with her since September 2009, about 6 months we could estimate. I finally decided to take my heart between my teeth and go for it.. of course I had asked her if she is ok with my coming, several times, but she seemed to take it as a joke, she did not believe I was really going to do this… just to meet her… ohhh but I was, I really was. From my town to hers there was only one direct train, the 1821, and was supposed to arrive at 2:59 A.M. after an 8-hour journey. On the 5^th of march, I was on the 1821 on my way to meet my better half.. I had to travel light because I really didn’t know what will I find when I’ll reach the destination… I had no idea how will she react, from the moment I set my foot on that train and to the moment I arrived, lots and lots of questions crossed my mind .. repeatedly . Will she be there.. Will she like me… Will I like her… Will she be as I expect.. Will I stand up to what she expects .. most based on fear as you probably figured out, the fear of the unknown…
