A Hint Of Jasmine

Another orbit has come around my way again. Tears welled up as I read her first contact with me in what feels like an eternity. Now she is back. Close. She needed to talk and, whether she knows it or not, I needed her. The timing was perfect, and the conversation was beautiful. Her voice has never really left the forefront of my thoughts since i've known her. With it there, only a few hours from me now, my thoughts do a little jig at the idea of getting to see her.

It's nice to know she still thought of me, even as her life moved into extraordinary. I made wishes for her. For her safe journey, for her health, for her to find love, friendship, companionship. As she told me of her time in Greece, her good times, her bad times. I felt like we were leading the same life a few times in the past months. Maybe even having our hearts broken at the same times. Maybe, in some small way, it was Destiny's way of letting us know that we're never alone in the worst of our emotions.

I'm thrilled to see her, thrilled to talk to her, thrilled to know she is close enough to drive to, even for just an evening, even for just a moment. I thought i felt something in the air last week. Something that changed, a new scent. Now I know what it was I was sensing. A hint of jasmine.
