It was a beautiful summer night. The smells of evening began to set in. We met in a parking lot near the entrance to the park. I pulled up next to her and she looked over and smiled. We got out of the car and embraced. It had been over a year since we saw each other last. There was a nervous tension in the air. We held hands as we strolled through the park. We talked about days past and things to come. We talked about failed relationships and the fun we had. All the while sauntering down the path.
We came to a bench and decided to sit down. The area was majestic. It was heavily treed and the focal point to the entire park was a lake in the center. It was a 25KM walk to circumvent the lake. Sitting on the bench we could see out over the lake to the few sailboats still out on the lake. It was beginning to get late and the sun had begun to set. The air was cool and refreshing; A little more so then I had intended.
She turned to me as we sat on the bench and asked if we could keep walking. It was a little too cool for her. I obliged and we began to walk back to our cars. Making our way along the shore of the lake we stopped every now and again to pick up stones and attempt to skip them across the water. It was during one such attempt that I looked up and say the amazing sunset before us. It was beautiful. The subtle hues of purple and pink were outlined by the dark streams of cloud between each panel of stained glass like color.
I looked into her eyes and an amazing bond began to form. As we stared out over the beauty in front of us it was like our two minds were completely in synchronicity. The thoughts and feeling it provoked caused me to wrap my arms around her, the silky skin of her cheek, against mine. Our hearts, our minds, and our breathing had begun to take place as though we were in fact one person.
