I'd never, in my life, known such passion. I'm quite certain I'll never again
know such emotion. She is, was, and will continue to be the defining moment in
my life. We met, as you might have imagined, in a chat room. I don't know why
you'd think as much...it just seems to be the nature of such relationships...the
heat...the "fire", as it were...is often a function of the "forbidden nature" of
such meetings.

It was with an almost overpowering urge that I left my home for our rendezvous.
I couldn't have grasped, at that moment, the almost surreal experience that was
awaiting me. As I drove, thoughts of our last several months spent chatting over
the internet enveloped my person. Phenomenal as it was, I was overtaken with a
certain fear...a fear that perhaps the "magic" of "in person" would be something
less than what it was we shared behind the very real wall of our computer
terminals. Yes, there was a bond...Yes, we would always "be friends". All these
things were true. I had no doubt we would remain close. I was afraid though that
"closeness" would be the extent of our bond...and I wasn't entirely sure my
being would ever come to grips with such an end.

Arriving at our prescribed meeting place, I quickly scanned left and
right...looking for her car. She grinned as I pulled up, exiting my own
vehicle...all shy smiles and trembling limbs. Reaching out, I gingerly offered
my hand in greeting. She bypassed my sad attempt...opting instead for a long hug
sprinkled with kisses to my neck. I was electrified. I breathed deeply...taking
her "in". I knew, yes, there was no question now. She was "it". In this most
lovely woman, I was complete. My soul had been quenched. Its thirst now
satisfied by a being almost "otherworldly" in beauty...both inside and out.

Months of emotion came bursting out of me. I was in tears. She held me...told me
to "let it go". Never did I feel anything but peace in her gaze...no fear...no
feelings that perhaps I should be more "like a man", etc...I knew it was my
destiny to so completely give up control.. I held back nothing. I spoke my
heart...opened my soul. Seeing me expose the most sensitive corners of
myself...she offered no words...giving instead loving gazes...gentle
touches...sweet nothings...

There we stood. Two people so completely in awe of one another...scarcely able
to find words...bodies pressed tightly together...soulmates.

To be continued in "Part 2"...available soon.
