Open It!

Feeling gratitude for how it all started….
________________________________
“Open It!”
It was unexpectedly in my inbox,
Time stamped and waiting there for me.
Was I willing to know who sent it,
Just how strong was the curiosity?
“Open it,” I told myself,
“Just open it up” because…
There was no reason not to,
And the excitement gave me a buzz.
If I clicked it, I could get some answers,
And hopefully not just more regret.
Should I roll the dice and gamble?
Or log off and try to forget?
A deep breath in, and then an exhale,
Before I opened up your gift.
Thank goodness I had that instinct,
Cause my single life would forever shift.
Your email turned into texting,
And texting turned into dates.
Those dates turned into planning,
And picking out some plates.
We made promises that were witnessed,
Before we partied and ate some cake.
Who knew that answering your email,
Would be the best decision I’d ever make.
