From my journal on 5/28/04~

Dear Someone,

It's a Friday evening, and I have just arrived home from driving around. It's interesting how in the last four days I have graduated college, moved away from 7 great roommates, and taken up residence in the Eastern Time Zone. My how life changes. I'm gonna be honest... I can't help but wonder if we are going to meet here in Ohio. A small part of me is hoping and expecting that maybe in this place, at this time...

I miss you. Mostly in the quiet moments amidst the usual daily routine. How can it be that I need you and yet get along fine alone; that I long for your presence yet find myself complete without you. How is it that I hope to have my world so unexplainably changed by your being made real, yet I am overwhelmed with the unpredictability of everyday life. I don't get it. I wouldn't change it... but I don't get it. Perhaps when we first meet, I will feel right away that I have been given a gift. This amazing gift that only exists between you and I. I hope I recognize you... not in a "love at first sight" kind of way...but something deeper. Something real.

Maybe you're not in Ohio. Maybe you don't really exist at all. Regardless, I am praying for you and... if it's possible... I'm loving you already.
Love, Me

Well... I guess May 27, 2004 must have been "one of those days" :)
