The Night We Met

Journal Entry: Aspen

It is the middle of the fall semester, and I am on my way back home.....home I never thought that I will be saying that again. As I'm flying on the plane sitting next to this especially vocal older gentleman who is telling me his whole life story. How he and his wife met and how they were high school sweethearts and prom king and queen of graduating class 60'.

I think wow how time fly's when you are in love then go on to imagine what it's like to have that kind of love, a love that is all in all. A love that was even if you are far apart you still long for one another's embrace.

I want that kind, as being a 19-year-old who hasn't even had her first kiss yet says a lot don't you think. Yea. it totally does I am Aspen Rose McCalister the 19-year-old virgin who dreams and thinks about love but when it's right in my face I shoo it away like an obnoxious fly.

How stupid can I be...Oop and now he's singing I had zoned out a bit due to writing but then I heard "Put your head on my should" at first I thought woah the Mr. old-time do get too fresh there,  hands off of the young goodies.

Then comes to realize he was just singing the song that was playing when he and his wife knew that they were each other's person. I know I know it's real "Grey's Anatomy" of me to say but hey who doesn't want a Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd kinda love.....without the death of course,...too soon Aspen too soon.

Ugh now there goes the waterworks nice, as I'm wiping my eyes as discreetly as I can the old man asked me why I was crying..now I can tell him the real reason why which will probably be stupid to him, but you know what who cares what he thinks right.

"Your story was beautiful your wife is very lucky to have such a wonderful husband," I tell him in the hopes of coving my own ass.

He looks at me and says "Yes, Yes she was and I was the luckiest man on earth to be able to spend the 30 years that I did with the love of my life."

At this point, I was guessing that she had passed on, but I didn't want to ask him how or why because that's really F'ed up so I just shook my head yes and continued to listen to my airplane playlist which consisted of Shawn Mendes, Sia, and Lord Huron.

As The Night We Met played in my ears I just go on to remember the..or almost love that I had with my Ex Brayden. I know in the beginning I said that I wish that I had a love like Mr. old-timer but in all reality I did. However, that story is for a different time.

"Attention passengers the plane will be landing in 5 minutes make sure your seat belts are buckled and wait for instructions to exit the plane." said the flight attended over the speaker. Until next time Journal.
