about time... (or why you're my favourite, cont'd)
5. I watched as YOU walked away when we parted today... It's another one of my favourite things. Not the walking away bit, but watching YOU walk. It's an even, graceful, grounded, and solid walk. The way your hips move just slightly with your step to take YOU fromhere to there. It's not like any walk I've seen. It's distinctly YOU. I remember looking out the window on Cambie street, during those new months, as YOU returned from the gym in the morning, and seeing that walk, really seeing that walk for the first time. I smiled as I recognized that detail of new love in that moment, and I'm still smiling today, ten years later as I watch YOU go
...but today as my eyes followed YOU, YOU turned... and I found a new favourite thing...
I saw not only the face of my Beloved smiling back at me, but also your bright, bright eyes. There's a new spark, like when YOU sit next to the window at a cafe, and the sun streams in at just the right angle, and your eyes light up with the entire glow of the sun contained in them, the same bright, bright eyes that looked across the table at me and silently said to my unspoken and as yet unrecognized but ripening YES to the Universe
