What I was thinking when I saw Daisy again for the first time...

        The last time I saw Daisy was before the war.  After the war, I hadn’t seen her for years.  She married a man named Tom and I always thought she had moved on and never wanted to see me again.  As years passed by, I wanted to see her more and more.  When I heard that my neighbor, Nick, was her cousin, I knew that he was my one chance to see her again.  He kindly set up a lunch where she would attend and we could reconnect after all the years.  When the time came for her to arrive, I quickly went into a panic mode.  Thoughts raced through my head and I wondered why I was doing this.  Once I heard her voice as she entered Nicks home, I convinced myself that it was a bad idea and I walked outside.  When I realized that was a mistake, I came back to the front door, walked inside, and locked eyes with the woman I loved once again.  She was even more beautiful than I had remembered.  I was so breathe taken and didn’t know what to say to her.  Her eyes stared into mine and twinkled with sunshine like they always do.  Nick left us alone for a bit and we got to talking like we used to.  It felt like time had stopped and I never wanted to leave that perfect moment with her.  We reminisced about our past and reconnected.  It was in that moment that I fell in love with her all over again.
