A Memorable Goodbye

Yesterday I was in St. Gabriel, Louisiana. After I left work, I decided to drive to New Orleans to see my friend before he goes back to New York. I noticed two things yesterday. First thing I noticed was that my job was in more of a shambles than I anticipated. I worked with my judge yesterday and some of his staff as well as some of my colleagues from the office, but I realized that I got a feeling that I usually get when I am growing too old for something. That "it is time to move on" feeling. Things just weren't the same. Everything is different, we're not in our office. Hell we aren't even in our city. I need to learn how to embrace change if I am ever going to move on to bigger and better things. I have decided to further my look in the DC area for a job. The second thing I noticed was I am truly drawn to the guy I met in New York. He expressed an interest similar to mine without me even saying a word. He was adament in helping me get to my apartment to see if I could salvage anything. He constantly looked out for my best interest. He was more than I ever expected out of any man. When I was leaving the city, he walked me to my car, gave me a hug and a kiss and kept looking back as he walked away. In that moment, I knew he was someone special to me. I will never forget him. He wants to keep in touch. I do too, but how realistic is that. He goes back to New York today. Where he will resume his normal life with his girlfriend. He and I talked so much about things last night. He called to see if I had made it back safely. I told him that I did not want to disrespect his lady. Which he understood and stated to me that I hadn't done that. I don't know why I am drawn to this man but I do know whoever she is, she is extremely lucky.
