instead of heading to town as initially planned, we decided to settle somewhere closer to the east. took a slow walk to The Bark Cafe since Lots was closed for the holidays. wondered why i never came back because the food was just plain amazing.
glad we took up our server's recommendation of the wings..which arrived piping hot and was so yummy. the fact that i never eat poultry skin but i downed every bit of those wings is testament enough to how simply awesome they were.
maybe it's because we skipped the part of getting to know each other better being close friends for the better part of 3 years, time spent ever since we got together have past mainly in content silence...oh i love how each time i manage to catch your gaze, your eyes crinkle up when you smile..
but today during dinner, maybe it was how far away we were from the bustle of city life, maybe it was how awesome the food was, maybe it was the easy tunes, but somehow the atmosphere at the cafe just seemed different. conversation was easy, drifted around family..thinking back i can't rem exactly what was said, just that it kept me laughing..what a perfect dinner date!
i am really happy and delighted that everyone around us are happy for us. i miss you every time you drive away in your car, after sending me home at night. i secretly love how when we part, i know you'd still be standing there should i turn around.
(sn) would like to remind you very much that i was first this time round. d: here's to many more races to be the first at midnight!
