This is a story of how I meet and connected with my soul mate, and our first date:

   The first day we connected, I heard you talking, joined in the conversation. I was immidiately attracted to you. I sought out to have more conversation with you. We took a break by the back of the building and talked much more in private. I knew you were someone I was going to be connected to right away! I asked you to stay after work to chat with me more. You stayed, which shocked me, since you were working a double that day! We connected again that night as well, and we laughed and shared thoughts and feelings. We exchanged e-mail addresses and I wrote you for the first time that night from work, cause I so wanted to talk with you again. In that letter I know we had joked about us getting a one bedroom apartment and how we would arrange it with the four of us together, who would have ever have known that we would literally go there one day. I only worked there for two weeks!   I only worked with you that once in which we connected. Got fired shortly afterwards, we never worked together again after that night, but we had already connected and started in motion a relationship.

   Our first date! What a night! I think I could write a book on it if I had the time! We had e-mailed and chatted online for about a week. I had learned that she liked Arabic things, so I looked online for an Arabic restraunt to take her too. I wanted to be sure that she knew that I listened to her, and that I cared about what she said. I had to deal with the fact of telling her I was still married, but separated in mind and in spirit. I had practiced all day long with my mother and my best friend Marie on how to tell you this. I was sick to my stomach about it, cause I stood to lose her if I didn’t approach it the right way. I knew what was in my heart and I needed to be sure to convey it correctly to her. The Arabic place was very nice, she was even suprised when the belly dancer came out and started dancing. Since again it was something she had conveyed to me in that week about something she was very much into. I think she knew right there and then, that I was serious about us and this was not a fly by night relationship I was working on. I had arranged for us to go to the landing in downtown Jacksonville that night. I wanted to be close to the water, cause I knew we were both stronger emotionally next to it. We walked around a bit and enjoyed the Christmas decorations. She was like a kid in a candy store seeing the huge lighted tree and all the lights and ornaments. I walked with her all the while thinking about what needed to be discussed. I tried to find a warm quiet place and looked around for one. I remember telling her I had something to say, and she stared me dead in the eyes, which made it even harder. I told her, and of course she was shocked inside to hear what I had to say. We walked some more by the water while I gave her time to internalize it in her head. We ended up sitting down in a pavillion next to the water where we talked about it more. It ended with both of us still feeling connected. We walked a little more, and I stopped her and gave her a big hug. This was our first true embrace, we almost kissed there as well. I know I had wanted too, but she turned her head before I planted my lips. We ended up on a bench outside while we watched the Christmas tree perform a light show in sync with music. I moved her so I could massage her shoulders for her. We soon ended up with her in my arms sidways on a bench upstairs. We finally kissed, and it was like nothing I could ever forget. I had kissed many times before but with her it was pure electricity. I was already falling in love with her. We had both broken so many rules that night in regards to what we said we were that night. It was like the rule book in life for ourselves was thrown out! We had both agreed on that we don’t like to kiss on first dates!! I guess it was meant to be, and I now had seen her in a totally new light. From that point on I knew that I was going to have a relationship with this woman. Now to what degree I had no idea.

We never stopped talking from the one night that we meet at work. We have talked EVERY SINGLE NIGHT ever since then. Sometimes for many many hours, sometimes for only a short moment. One thing though that we agreed on is without a spoken word is that we would never let a night go without somehow connecting. I cannot begin to tell you how connected I feel with her. We feel every single emotion together and every single thought. We don’t even have to talk together to know what the other is feeling. It is like we are twins or something and are connected at the mind together. It really does amaze me in that sense, that we are so totally connected in mind and spirit. It has been about three months from that infamous first date, and we have not stopped loving each other since. We are now in the middle of planning to move out, and start a new life together. Who would have ever known from a simple meeting of the minds that we would have grown to love each other to this level of understand and commitment!

30 years ago,while in the Army,stationed in Kansas,me and a good friend were cruising down the strip in a small town,outside of our military base. We pulled up to a light and were getting ready for it to change ,when two girls pulled up next to us.Well when i looked over I saw the most beautiful girl i had ever laid my eyes on,i fell for her right then,.So ,right away we started talking with them, and my friend said he knew one of them from some other meeting,well we set up a date for both of us to meet later on that night,at their place.well wouldn’t you know it my Buddy was trying to hit on Lisa and i kinda got stuck with Susan,not what i really wanted to happen.Well Lisa wanted to be with me also(as i later found out),and when my Buddie tried to kiss her she put a stop to that and the party was over ,or so i thought,we ended up seeing each other after that and fell for each other right away(love at first sight),(She was in the process of a divorce)My last 10 days in the military were to be spent out-processing,but i did that in 4 days and spent the last 6 days locked up in a trailer with her,we fell so deeply in love ,never had i been with someone like her ,her touch ,her smile, her eyes,the smell of her skin ,we kissed every pore on each others body,everything i have ever desired in a woman she had and more.Well after i got out of the army i worked in Oklahoma and Texas, Lisa came to Texas,for a visit ( after her divorce)stayed for a few weeks then on to California ,San Jose,to be near her mother.Later i got a call from her , telling me to come out there to be with her and that there were plenty of jobs to be had. Right away i caught a flight and she met me at the airport,we lived together  for almost a year ,we struggled with money and some other problems and with her working so much she had a nervous break down. After that she moved in with her mother and i eventually went home to Indiana,we kept in touch ,a couple of call’s here and there. She later joined the Air Force as a nurse,and i got a letter to her,but soon lost all contact with her( my letters were all returned to sender)30 YEARS LATER, I’m in the process of getting a divorce,when on Face-book i get a friend request saying I DONT KNOW BUT 30 YEARS AGO ?, I looked at her name and picture and almost came unglued,it was her. Well i sent her a message right away, and yes it was ,as each message was sent back and forth so did my love for her grow,well it never did die,i have loved this woman for all this time,and would have married her back then. And when i first heard her voice i fell even more in love with her ,it’s like we have picked up where we left off,no time between us lost ,and as we kept talking she told me she is also in love with me !We are truly soul-mates,we think alike ,we say and think the same thoughts,we finish each other’s sentences ,we feel each other ,even though she is in Colorado and I’m here in Indiana.And the wonder of all wonders , she is coming to see me here in 20 days. I love this woman with all of my being,and her me,she is planning to move here with me and when the time is right i will get down on my knee and ask her to marry me.LISA & JOE,as it should be. I plan on making her happy the rest of my life,we are now 50 YRS YOUNG ,and if i could grab a star for every smile she has given me ,i would hold the night sky in the palm of my hand,,forever soul-mates.It rarely happens,TO VERY FEW PEOPLE, and we are so blessed for it to happen to us,JOE & LISA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!
