Calm and just right, not pushy, but sometimes upset (She’s not upset) (not at you just the situation, no fingers being pointed), always loving and sophisticated, you’ll never know what hit you until you want more, but even then you can’t describe it. It’s a slow rush of ‘yes’ and ‘what?’ A gentle touch of fresh understanding and connection, it will make you think that you’re the only other person in the world while standing on your front stoop with a cigarette in one hand and her attention in the other, which you should really be using two hands for (PUT OUT THAT CIG!) because she’s dropped everything and I do mean everything to be there with you since she has to be at work in 6 hours and you’re off tomorrow. She can’t wait to see you again already and she’s still there. SO much care inside this human that is so strikingly attentive and miraculously patient. What a woman. — I talk too much but she’d never say that. Unless she really doesn’t think so, but either way right now I am grateful that this moment and this angel of a human exists, but do I even realize it yet? Maybe only very subconsciously. Because she hasn’t driven off yet.

She’s made me meals before and shared leftovers from the restaurants that her company has taken her to. She’s let you know about that music that she’s into and dang it’s an eclectic collection by far, I mean come on… having been to Japan and all had its effect but she liked all these bands before she even went to Nagoya for a year back in college, let alone now that all of these bands, including the k-pop, have really blown up! Go buy that new CNBlue album, maybe even the new Yong-Hwa single. It’s uploaded, online now! Click it!!!! #YongHwa if you’re reading this right now, Katie says Hi!!
You both like the time you spend with each other and you can’t wait to see each other again, it’s a mutual feeling of “can i please be huddled up next to you. Can I kiss your cheek? I really want to stay right here and talk with you and have this opened-soul-connection with you for a longtime, years even, not just for a few bittersweet minutes at half past 1 in the morning.
