Three Blocks Down

I met the love of my life today. I was walking, jaunting, skipping down the lane when this lovely polar bear asked me for directions. I froze for a moment, terrified of the quick flood of emotion he brought out of me. I had to pull myself together to assist the man. I was fluttering like I didn't know quite what I was doing. I wore a silly yellow dress that I realized was too big for my frame. I put my nervous hand into his and wish I would have stopped him as he walked away.

He was the epitome of a gentleman. He smelled like he knew exactly what he wanted in life and his piercing eyes just drew you into a frame. He was wearing a red and green plaid vest with a real working pocket watch. He had a manly sort of aura about him. He used sensible words with just the right amount of wit. He got right to the point without being gruff and shook my hand as a thank you.

I don't suppose that I'll ever see him again, but then again you hardly ever do.
