There have been so many hurdles for me lately, one thing after the other... never seeing an ending, yet knowing it'll all work out according to plan, maybe not mine, but "the plan".
Believe it or not, I'm truly starting to think all things done from the way the wind blows to each decision we make is all precise. Each action taken from the day we are able to take our first breaths... calculated.
Over the years in our lives we meet people...some of them teach us something about ourselves; while other times we teach others of themselves. I've learned many things about human nature the biggest of these lessons learned was LOVE.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yeah, neither did I, well until 2008. I was working in a grocery store. I had barely just moved to Florida, in search of something bigger than myself. One evening I was scanning the items of a customer and a group of men walk in, I welcome them and go about my scanning. As my customer pays and we say our goodbyes a man, younger than myself, walks over to me and asks is he can leave his bag next to me while he shops...I said of course... this man and I couldn't stop looking at one another, maybe i was just starting too much amazed by such a beautiful being, his green eyes and light skin mesmerizing my soul... and that smile, the smile of a king!
Once he was finished buying his groceries he and the large group that entered the store before him laughed and joked with one another.... encouraging the green eyed king to get my number...I couldn't help myself, i wanted to know him. I needed to know him. So i wrote my number down. He called, he texted, he came by the store. We connected in such a way I truly never thought existed!
He was here, in the USA, on a work visa picking fruits we spoke daily and still had yet to "hang out". He was then sent to New York, seasons change and fruits need picking, so we continued our friendship through text and phone calls.
He called me and told me, "I am being sent back to Jamaica, I leave soon." I was so upset all i wanted was for him to be able to continue living here in the states and one day figure how to make it together. Then he was gone, we still kept in contact but over the years lost touch. There wasn't a moment that passed by over these past 7 years that I didn't see something that reminded me of my wonderful friend.
Yesterday, everything changed and I experienced emotions that had lay dormant for some time...I logged into Facebook (i know ewwe lol) and who is on my friend request list, you guessed it! The green eyed Jamaican king!!! I was so excited to see he found me again after all this time. It was like no time had passed at all and we picked up right where we left off!!! I am excited to say he's finally coming (back) to America!!!! Will this be it? Is this what the plan is? Will our paths finally merge? The questions I have...Does love at first sight even exist?
