TREPIDATION.  That's what I'm feeling right this very moment.  It's creeping slowly through every nerve ending in my body. Making it hard to breathe. I could feel a thumping pain at the base of my spine; making my lower back jerk slightly every couple of seconds. It's a nervous tick that I have to endure.  It is pretty painful and I can't do anything about it until it subsides. Why am I feeling this way you ask? It's because of a girl. The one that got away so to speak but didn't really, because there was never an us. We never got together as a couple really. But I was so damn in love with her years ago, that when we lost touch, ergo sort of ending our great friendship too, I was more heart broken when I lost her, than when I broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years at that time.

Sigh. Now here I am, waiting with bated breath for my ex best friend in a quaint cafe right smack in the middle of Manhattan. As I'm appreciating the intricacies of the famous green tea mille crepe cake in front of me, I didn't even notice the woman standing right in front of me. All I could see was her dark blue scrub suit because I was too frightened to raise my head. Her scent wafts through my nose amidst the sweet vanilla smell of cakes and fruity yet burnt smell of coffee. I knew right then, that this is going to be a long ass day. Am I making the right decision? I ask myself silently as I roam my eyes ever so slowly from her waist up to her beautiful face. She looks so tired but she managed to smile albeit timidly as she softly says, "Hi."
