the first picture

The first picture I ever took of Kyle was while we were at a bar. I had just gotten his phone number and I told him the reason I needed his picture was for his contact picture because what if he ever called me and I didn't know which Kyle this was. totally valid reasoning. I had one Kyle in my address book and he was it.


It was a Saturday, I had finished my party set and Kyle was coming into work for the night shift. I was supposed to be leaving and getting home to finish a couple things around the house that I had let just sitting for the past week (unfortunately my house doesn't clean itself). But instead I chose to stay a bit later and flirt talk to Kyle. I hung out at the desk chatting with him for a bit before I decided that I had made a fool out of myself enough and now it was time to go. Right before I left I almost asked for his number but ended up chickening out and leaving.

So later that evening, I forced convinced two friends of mine to go bowling just so that I could see Kyle again. At the time, I didn't know why I was so attracted to Kyle, but I was. I wanted to see him, and hopefully maybe one day, know the man he was. I bounced back and forth between the snack bar and the front desk. A friend (I made at work) was working that night and it was nice actually chatting with her for more than five minutes at a go. So I stayed all night like a loser and chatted.
When it was time to close they mentioned going out to a bar that I’ve never heard of before. At first, I was a little nervous on going since I didn't really know everyone and all of a sudden I was going to a bar with them. But instead of going home like I normally would have, I decided what the hay and went out.  It was at the bar, that I realized I really liked Kyle.  It wasn't just an attraction .  He made me laugh and I had never been more comfortable with someone in my life.  I felt like I had known him all of my life.  I hoped that something would come out of this night, but I didn't think anything would.

Did I think that night would be the start of forever?  If you had told me a year ago that I would have found the love of my life, I don't know if I would have believed you.  We've changed since that night and grown so much.  I wouldn't change it for the world.  Kyle is my one and only true love.
