Whenever I drink coffee...particularly on fresh and crisp mornings such as this...I am often reminded of the time I was in the Aroma cafe on Regent Street in London....maybe 5 years ago.
I was alone drinking a cappucino reading the sports post and out of the corner of my eye I saw her. All harvest hair and elvis hips...alone, like I. Not out of this world attractive...but something about her grabbed me...enough to keep looking at her. She caught me twice, and smiled both times. When I saw she had finished her coffee I went up and asked if she needed another.
And so began one of the best days of my life.
I took this girl, Rebecca, a new American transplant to London University, all around town. We saw, we ate, we drank, and we laughed about everything under the sun and moon and more.
We held hands under Big Ben, and kissed by the Tower of London. She would finish my sentences, and I would start hers.
The 4 months passed like 4 days, and it came time for her to leave. This perfect, perfect girl who had been my every waking and sleeping thought for all those days.
Rebecca went home to upstate New York, and we never spoke again.
But we didn't need to, because it had all been said.

Like I wrote...it had all been said.
We condensed about 4 years into 4 months and I lost myself everynight staring into her eyes.

Lesson learned: never fear in taking a chance, and never live wondering "what if"?
