The Night We Met

This is a story.

About the night we met.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It all started when I was out swimming with my friends.

We were friends on social media.

But we've never met before.

That day we were somehow DMing each other

We were texting casually when suddenly he dropped this message;

'What are you doing today'

'Having a swim haha'

'Dinner?'

'Haha are you asking me out?'

'Yes.'

And that was that.

We settled a time and place to meet.

I honestly, wasnt expecting anything.

It was just dinner, after all. 

Plus we've been wanting to meet but never got a chance to.

We've kind of been following each other for a while, but we don't really know much about each other.

I reached the train station.

And there he was, standing near the tapping gantry.

Was that a shy look? Maybe.

We went up to the mall, having small casual talks.

'You craving anything?'

'Nah not really.'

'We'll see what's around then.'

We decided to settle on Pastamania.

'Let's go.'

He was a gentleman.

Bringing me to our seats.

Casually passing me the fork and spoon.

Inviting me to eat.

Talking about himself. His work. His passion. His special gift.

I was intrigued.

I havent felt this way about someone in a while.

He was such a cool dude.

I was honestly, not expecting this.

We decided to go lepak somewhere after dinner.

We walked around Serangoon, towards a HDB void deck.

And we just sat there.

And chilled.

Laughing.

Chatting.

Talking about our mutual friends.

Gossiping about people in the scene.

It was honestly..

Nice.

We felt a connection there and then.

(We confessed when we got back home)

Sadly,  time flew. And it was time to go back.

He walked me to the train station.

Resting an arm over my shoulders.

'Hmm not bad, perfect height.'

I blushed and placed my arm around his waist.

This was... something else.

We reached. 

And before I left,

he asked for a hug.

And I did.

And it was really special.

I swear the world stopped for a sec when we did.

We were a perfect fit.

At least, it felt like we did.

I'll never, ever forget that night.

The night we met.

Love, Eran.

Take me back to that night.

Current Song Mood: Lord Huron - The Night We Met

I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met

And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you

I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met 
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met
