Past Remembering

Do you remember how we met?  How time flies.  Twenty seven years rolled by and before we knew it, this chapter in our life is but a memory.  Life is a dream so hold fast and enjoy it.

It was April 1, 1990.  I was coming home from work and there you were waiting for me at the parking lot. You introduced yourself and expressed dismay that no one in the apartment building could introduce us formally.  You were bold and confident.  I, on the other hand, saw you only as an unwanted pest.  I did not care for the extended gesture of friendship.

Your persistence won me over.  I shared my name.  Then you asked me for my telephone number and I hurriedly gave you this information.  You asked me to repeat the number and I smugly told you, “Shakespeare never repeats.”  I thought that was the end of it.  Little did I know your persistence is without bounds.  You never give up.  This trait will serve you well in life.
