Shekia & I were acquaintances in high school. She once did me a favor & cleaned out my locker. I yelled at her for this. Till this day, I do not know why I responded that way. Fast-forward 15 years, we reacquaint on facebook. I apologize for my arrogance. She accepted. After my 5th relationship collapsed & my inability to find someone who loves me I take on the pseudonym "The Hopeless Romantic". Two more years pass. A recently engaged friend of mine tells me, "When you find someone who loves you, you should hold on to that person". I visited Shekia. While standing on her front porch I fought the urge to kiss her. I gave in. She tells me, "That is what I've always wanted". I now know that this is the girl for me & I'm holding on tight.
