This is the story of a chance encounter between me and a lover of my heart.

On the first day we met, I was deeply sucked into her. I listened to her and took the initiative to talk to her. I managed to want to talk to her a little more. We rested a little at the back of the building and talked a lot in private. I knew she was the one I was looking for. I finally asked her to stay after work and talk to me more.

She had been on two shifts that day, but I was a little surprised that she was able to stay. We stayed together that night and spent the whole night talking and laughing, sharing each other's thoughts and feelings. We exchanged email addresses, and I wrote my first letter right after I got off work that night because I wanted to talk to her together.

In that email, we jokingly said that we were going to rent an apartment with a bedroom together. No one would have thought that we would go there one day. I ended up working there for only two weeks, but it was enough for us to stay in touch for the rest of our lives. Soon after, I was fired, and we never worked together again that night. But we've got connected, and we've started to have a good relationship with each other.

We went on our first date together after we broke up that night. What a night it was! If I had time, I think I could write a book! We emailed online and talked for a week. I heard that she liked Arabic flair, so I found an Arabic restaurant online and took her there. I was sure she knew I was listening to her and cared about what she had to say. I also had to face the fact that I needed to tell her that I was still married, but that my mind and spirit were separate.

I spent my days with my mother and best friend Mary practicing how to tell her about it, because if I couldn't approach her in the right way, I would lose her. I knew in my heart that I had to communicate this to her in the right way. It was nice to go to an Arabian place, and she was surprised when she saw the belly dancers come out and start dancing. Later, she told me that she was also very fond of belly dancing. I think she knows that place, and I take our relationship very seriously, it's not that one-night stand.

After dinner, I arranged to go to downtown Jacksonville that evening for a candid presentation. I wanted to be close to the water because I knew we were both emotionally strong. We walked for a while and admired the Christmas decorations all around. When she saw a huge glowing Christmas tree with so many lights and decorations around, she was as happy as a child in a candy store. I walked with her, thinking about how to discuss it with him. I was looking for a warm and quiet place. I remember telling her I had something to discuss with her, and she stared at me deadly. This makes things even more tricky for me. I plucked up the courage to tell her what I wanted to say to her. She looked shocked.

We continued to walk by the water's edge, and I wanted to give her some time to ponder what I had just said to her. We walked to a small pavilion by the water, sat down, and continued talking. At the end of the conversation, we both were still very emotional. After leaving the museum, I stopped her and hugged her tightly in my arms. It was the first time we hugged together, and we almost kissed. I wanted to kiss her, but she had already turned her head, but it made me think about it.

In front of a bench, we watched the lights on a Christmas tree change to the music. So I can massage her shoulder. She was so touched by me that I hugged her on the bench. We finally kissed, and I can't forget it. I've kissed her many times before, but she didn't react. I was so in love with her. That night, we broke many of the rules we had set before, and it was like jumping out of the window of the regular life. We've all expressed before that we don't like kissing on our first date. My only explanation is that it was meant to be. From that moment on, I knew I was going to have sex with this woman.

We always like to talk about the night we met at work. Since then, we've been talking non-stop every night. Sometimes, we talk for hours, but it makes us feel like it's just a brief moment. We both share a common desire to not have a single night without contact. Words can't express how close I am to her. We feel each other's every emotion and every thought. We don't even need to talk to understand each other's feelings. It's as if we are twins, spiritually connected. It really amazes me that in this sense, we are completely connected in mind and spirit. It's been three months since that first date, and we've never stopped loving each other. Now we are in the process of starting a new life together. Who would have known that we would reach this level of understanding and commitment through a simple gathering of minds and loving one another.
