That quirky smile was what pulled my attention towards you. Followed by your loud and rambunctious laughter. The look of a classy lady drinking beer. Unafraid of your surrounding filled with wolves. We were introduced by a mutual friend and although I was so nonchalant on the outside, my inside had already given up. I couldn't possibly imagine a beautiful woman like yourself giving me any type of chance. So with that grew a courage that sparked conversations easily. Your beautiful green eyes soften my resolve but I parted ways with future plans, a date!

Boy was I nervous, so nervous I screwed up the dates of the event I wanted to attend with you. You had on a blue dress that made you look beyond stunning. All my doubts seem to rush back to me like a wave at a beach. Realizing my confusion on the dates my embarrassment turned into comfort as you delivered that gracious smile. So instead we took a walk along the piers. 

We walked to what seemed to be miles, but in fact was much less. I found myself intoxicated off nerves. Spilling everything about me. I remember stoping a few times to let you speak. You just listened. Objectively and intently, laughing at my jokes and at my stories. That night didn't end well due to outside forces but it was great. 

You usually have the corniest jokes, but are super smart, greatly gifted crocheting. Great cook, and I know how much it drives you crazy how messy I can be. Super supportive, and caring. Strong willed with a clear sight on what it is you desired from life. Your personality was unmatched and that drove my curiosity further which motivated me to get to know you more. 

Further down some months after being established, your birthday approached. Sneaking around calling your friends and getting info about other friends to attend a dinner for your born day. The run arounds to pick up the heaviest cake I've ever seen. The chauffeuring to your absolute favorite restaurant. I was so ready to see you cry, and as you walk in you see your friends that I've met, a couple of my friends that you have met. Then from out of nowhere comes your best friend who you haven't seen for some time and as she approaches you turn quickly to me in wonder. You two embrace for the first time in ages. There goes the tears. We dine the night away with laughter and smiles. We ate that delicious, and heavy cake. It took 3 Asian ladies to bring that cake out! 

As we stood in the hotel room balcony, we chatted idly about the nights events. You asked me how I got your friend there if I've never even met her. I explain my mission. I decided to give you your last gift in private. I took out a box and said gently "happy birthday". The bracket simmered in the light. As you put it on I hugged you from behind and asked you if you remembered what I said I would do for your birthday? You turned and flashed those bright beautiful greens and said "yes, you said you would make it memorable"
