A Haiku for Kelsey

Time may pass on by...some will come and some will go...the right ones come back.

About a month ago an old (well she's not old) friend came by work to tell me she was back in town and would like to get together. She needed to get her school (grad) schedule sorted out first. Well this past Sunday we connected and made a date for tonight. I picked the restaurant "Il Fornaio" in the beautiful town of Coronado California. Great view of the San Diego skyline out our window from across the bay. I must admit I was a little nervous not quite knowing what to expect. I wasn't 100% sure she wanted to go on a date or just catch up with a friend. We dated briefly 8 years ago before she moved to Oregon. One look at her smiling face when I arrived at the restaurant and all doubt was erased. A quick embrace and kiss and it was like 8 years was erased. We are both older and wiser, well I am older she is still young by most standards (28 years old). Conversation flowed through us, we didn't even open the menus for the first 10 minutes. We rarely looked away from each other the entire meal. 2 hours later after paying for the meal I asked if she wanted to go for a walk (it was quite chilly outside) and she said yes. We walked into the chilly night air and she put her arm around me and I reciprocated and somehow it wasn't cold anymore it was just the two of us sharing warmth and still talking. We found a bench to sit on and looked across the bay. We looked at each other and kissed. It was just like 8 years before. This may be both a beginning and an ending in another episode called my life. Right now I am happy, that hasn't happened in a long long while.
