you're invited

Ross and I have met many times. Once it was jumping off rocks into the Chattahoochee river, once it was him buying me a snickers ice cream bar in the lunch line, and a few more times after that over the years...every time we met we were new people, but people who would love each other forever. The last time we met was not so different from the rest, but somehow just right in a way the others weren’t—now was the time. He will describe my walking up to him at the bar as if in slow motion with the song “Alone” by Heart playing in the background…to me, I saw him and just felt like I was at home.
