There she was.
Standing there.
Naked . . . .very naked, except for the necklace I had bought her the day before at the craft market.
The sun was just rising bathing her in those bright early morning rays.
The crystals hanging in the window turned the sun rays into rainbows which danced all over her body.
I had given her the keys to my apartment the weekend before but never expected anything like this.
Initially stunned, slowly, ever so slowly, I began to regain my senses.
I didn't take my eyes off her . . . I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
I started to realize that I was standing there in my boxer shorts with ducks printed on them, hadn't shaved, and my hair, what little there was, looked like it had been combed with an egg beater. Although I am usually neat, I was too tired the night before to tidy up so dirty dinner plates were still on the table, dirty pots were still on the stove, and clothes were all over the floor.
Not a pretty sight for that vision that had just appeared.
Then I noticed the smile. She didn't care about anything but me.
Still staring at her, she was staring back. Those eyes, oh my, those eyes. Hypnotic blue; looking at me, looking through me.
It seemed the logical thing to do to speak, to say something to her. Good morning, hello, something, but nothing came out. I had lost the ability to speak.
Those eyes, that smile, the rainbows, the light.
I pinched myself, no it was not a dream but it was like dreaming.
