Dear Sally

One of the best days of my life was the day I met you. You were shy, a little too reserved yet smart. I wasn't interested in such traits and to be honest you're out of my league. Your style, your smile, and even those laughs make me wonder how it feels to be your man? from afar I dream and dream and dream... they say that "dreams do come true" as quoted by my friend, and yes, here I 'am looking in your eyes without saying a word. You seemed happy but I can't feel your happiness. You slowly sign and gave me a warm shake, " Hi " that is the only word that comes from my mouth, have we met? that is the question in my head as you smiled. You never utter a single word. At that moment I wasn't sure why my heart is beating so fast, Oh! maybe because I'm just nervous, "No! I mean look at your eyes it's like hers" I exclaimed. You're quite surprised but soon begin to shake your head. " I'm Sally," you said.

The smile on your face fades and there, you sign again. " It's very interesting why sunset is more colorful than sunrise, don't you think so? " you asked. " Well, do you want to know the scientific reason, or let's just assume?" I had to stop since you chuckled. Your voice is like a sweet melody, warm and relaxing. " If you don't mind sir, the assumption is a scary word " you justified. I don't know if you're trying to save my boring lines or if there is something I need to hear. I'm a simple man, yes I know I'm a bit outdated, kind of boring and old fashioned not because I'm old but because I value more of the important things. I'm not easily swift off trendy stuff, for me anything old is fascinating. As we continue our conversation with some giggles and friendly touch, I don't want to end the day and even wonder if there is a machine that could stop time, and who knows maybe I would buy one.

I was about to shake your hand when my alarm rang, I woke up with a bittersweet smile. It was just a dream, wasn't it? When I try to lie my head off I saw multiple letters scuttered on my table and I wrote all of them. Guess what? it's all for Sally... I was thrilled! maybe I need to write a new one before going back to bed, what do you think? 


Love,

Brad
