A glimpse of simplicity

It would be so easy. A life with him. Everything always seemed like a challenge for her. Every decision in her life had been a hard one. But tonight, she caught a glimpse of what it would be like to have a little simplicity in her life. 

"Huh?" 

Ten feet away from her, a familiar face was looking her way. They were both about to look away when they realized something. They knew each other! 

"What?"

She wasn't wearing her most comfortable jeans, and her blouse was a little too tight for her liking, but she didn't think she'd have to care, until she realized she had to talk to him. It wasn't like she had to, but why wouldn't she? He was her friend after all. Conversation was so easy with him. Every time she thought they were on the brink of awkwardness and would have nothing else to talk about, well, they'd find something to talk about. He said a lot of things, but she barely processed anything he said. She was too caught up in her own thoughts. "We're actually having a conversation. A now, 20 minute conversation. How did that happen?" 

No, people did not consider this boy good looking. But he was friendly, and charming. When she looked him in the eye, which was not very often as she would start to blush, she didn't see the prettiest eyes. She saw sincerity. She saw kindness. She also saw insecurity. She saw shame. She'd give anything to know him better. Spend more time with him. She wanted their conversation to last forever. Inside, she kept hoping that God will send someone like him to her one day. A boy like him would grow up to be an honorable man. She didn't know how she came to that conclusion, she just knew. The boy that stood in front of her an hour earlier may not be the boy of her dreams, but he was a boy worth her time. 

He made her want to stop time. He made her want to read minds. He made her feel something. She knew they would spend more time together in the future, she just didn't know if they'd have any time alone like they did tonight. A very coincidental night. Only time will tell. Only God will know. 

For now, he's the boy that made her 1st of December 2011 an interesting one. Not magical, not amazing, just interesting. He gave her a glimpse of simplicity:)
