Stepping Near

50 feet away... I see her, shining, gleaming; at this point I'm a zombie; walking, as she walks towards me. Then a flash, I can't tell if it's future present or past; but I see her... smiling and me on one knee crying, declaring my love for her is un-dieing, forever lasting, never quitting, stopping nor passing, as all the people around us are left gasping. ::BREATHE:: I take a breath, I look around, I'm still walking? I look ahead... I see her only 40 feet left.

The sky goes dark and I'm staring into her eyes, and I just can't realize that shes kissing my lips as I'm holding her hips and as she tightens her grip, as we stand under the stars, OH $#%! I almost tripped, I blink 3 times as quick, I look up and she giggles a bit at 20 feet away. I watch as the color around me sways together blends together, as I see a household that seems to be held together by two loving parents, and I also see me! FUTURE ME! Taking a day off from work to spend with my loving family; my wife...and children too... Dare I say...should I say...bliss, or is it blissful ignorance. I take a deep breath, and look up towards her to see 10 feet left, the distance is growing short and the time is gaining near, is this the time that all these beautiful things are going to appear? If this is to be, then I must speak at 3 feet. So I formed my lips, my eyes on the prize, but the only thing that came out of my mouth was... "Hi".

She passes me by, and it would be a lie if I said I wasn't kicking myself in the behind; but if it's meant to be then it will be...hopefully. I'm confident that I will see her again and everyday I think to myself in my mind that day is "Stepping Near".
