Close To You

Oil on board

I started dating my husband at the beginning of sophomore year in college.
We knew each other’s class schedules by heart, and I could time exactly when he would be walking across campus.
I looked at my watch a lot that semester!
 
“Why do birds
Suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you”
 
Those butterflies in my stomach had me on high alert those days.
No cell phones allowing us to text or track locations.
Just the pure excitement of new love!
