I have a new step to my beat. I dress quick and do my hair, trying to hurry, trying to get there. I can\u2019t walk fast enough it seems. My feet feel as if they\u2019re dragging. I am walking, more like jogging, at a fast pace. Here it is, the building I see. I buzz the door and wait. Feeling only my heart pace. It quickens to the point I can\u2019t breathe. Finally it\u2019s opening. Slowing down in the crowd that holds a thousand faces. I walk in a normal way trying not to give my excitement away. I walk down the corridors not saying a single word. I&#8217;m almost there. This is absurd. I see the stairs and start to glide. Wishing I could instead fly. Ha! I&#8217;m here. In front of the old wooden doors. I have to wait one second more. I must try. Must try and breathe. I need to think before I see. See what I have been waiting for. I think I&#8217;m going to fall to the floor. I grab the handles slowly. Turn the knob&#8230;bump&#8230;bump\u2026bump\u2026 Sssshhh, my heartbeat. The door now opens. Now I see. I see him standing so far away. In this gym so big on the other side is where my heart now tends to fly. He turns around and through the crowd comes to meet me. We hug and kiss for we have missed each other\u2019s warm embrace. I can\u2019t believe I finally made it to this heavenly sent place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/exclusiveink\/tag\/kat\/\">KAT<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Today I wake with such a gleam.
