How from a distant wind that I once prayed to come true.
Tinker
Love reached out and touched me from a distant wind that seems to blow on a breeze of prayers people whisper privately to deep from within their hearts.
There she was looking at me like I was hansom and important and how I was her everything. I could hardly believe my own eyes. So I looked closer at who she was and how she looked. Natural wavy black hair that other women would kill for, a pair of big dark brown eyes that had more beauty then people can imagine. And a tall well proportions body that could simply make whatever clothes she wanted to ware always look just great. Are you kidding me? I became frosted in place so no one else could tell how deeply flattered I was, and of course, also shocked.
I was standing on an uptown New Orleans avenue street corner in front of my favored Drugstore that my father and I would eat breakfast from time to time. He was home resting from a long day work as I was talking on the payphone with a woman who I was breaking up with because she was bisexual and kinder crazy. Going back and forth from liking men, and then women sexually. She would all of a sudden talk differently at times and stop to catch herself, and would, of course, become very inappropriate to talk to and just as crazy as all get out.
So I was talking to her on the payphone as this wonderful normal woman with dark brown eyes was looking at me with the kind of emotional magic that I would pray for from time to time. But never really expect to happen to me.

She was with her sister in from of the drugstore apparently picking up some medicine stopping to look at me, before walking away. I hung up the phone quickly and walked over asking. Hi! I saw you around the neighborhood and seem to remember you awhile back. And wanted to ask you if you are the same young girl that knocked on my door and gave me a small present when you were much younger, three to four years ago?
Yes! She said I am?
Wow! You have truly gowned up into a very beautiful woman now, and by the way, I still have your present. A rose pressed between the pages of that very expressive nice note you wrote to me back then. When you were simply too young for me to return such deep affection.
She said that she was going home now and it was nice talking. With that, she walked to the car and rode away.
I remained stunned realizing that was the same person as the girl of 15 who brought me a love note out of the blue delivering it herself to my front door. I swear I became depressed again because I realize that she was still very much younger than me. Counting out three more years would make her 18 now. Oh thank God, so I would not be arrested for what we were feeling. So I walked slowly back home thinking and then again, trying not to think anymore at all.
We couldn't help it after that and run into each other arms for the hug we always wanted and went on to stay married for 30 years before she had to leave this world without me. She also made sure that I would never be left alone by given birth to three wonderful children that I travel back and forth to be with today. Yes, I do believe in true love. This is one of the songs that she would sing to me when we first met, all those many years ago...
