AGAINST ALL ODDS (We Found The Perfect Love)
Copyright ©2016 Suzie Tyler
After meeting his family, we drove
to Brady Mountain and it was the perfect place for lovers…. quiet, serene and
beautiful. I felt so secure and
loved. It was a relaxing atmosphere and
just what I needed away from the hustle and bustle of the fast pace of the
Metroplex and the smog.
I was able to
forget all of the emotional distress that was going on in my life back home in
Conroe. The clean mountain air of
Arkansas, with a handsome loving man holding me in his arms sure made my heart
full of joy and the kisses seemed sweeter.
I would even describe it as heavenly!
We walked around the mountain
area, taking pictures and making time to hug each other tightly as we held on
to the joy of each moment! We were just happy being together knowing our love is real. It had been over a month since we had seen each other. I looked at the beauty
of the mountain scenery as he pointed out different places of interest in Hot
Springs that we could see from atop the mountain. It reminded me of our time at Lake Texarkana
in 1958. He must have been thinking of the
same thing because he squeezed my hand as we walked along the trail
and said, “Do you remember back when we were at the lake, listening to Elvis Presley
sing “Don’t Be Cruel” and I would tell you not to hurt my heart that was
true? I guess I was worried that you
would do that. I thought about us walking
up to the preacher and saying I do and then taking our trip to Florida
for a honeymoon. We sure have a lot of
time to make up for.”
He stopped and took both my hands in
his and placed them behind his back as he is looking into my eyes. He stands looking at me for several seconds
and then said, “I love looking in to your beautiful eyes. You eyes melt my heart and I love you more
every day.”
As
he places my hands on his waist, he cradles my face in his hands and says “You were the sweetest girl I had ever met
and still are. I have wished many a time
that I had followed through with that proposal and then you would be mine
today!”
Then
as he puts his hands around my waist he says,
“I remember that you had the tiniest waist. I could put both of my hands around
it and they would meet.” As he tried
to close his fingers around my waist, he couldn’t quite make it and I laughed
and said “Well, that waist has grown a
lot in 15 years!”
He put both arms around me and I put
my arms around him and we held each other tightly for a long time and did not
want to let go. I think we were both remembering what could have been! He bent
over and kissed me so very gently.
Standing there, he cradled my face in his hands again and looked at me as
I smiled back at him lost in his eyes. I felt mesmerized by the moment.
He said, “I love you so very much. I just
want you to be mine forever.
Hugging me tightly, he said laughingly, “You know, I could just not take you back home and you would have to
stay with me. No, I wouldn’t do that but
I do wish that one day you will be mine and we can drive off into the beautiful
sunset together for always! I really do love you, cross my heart!”
