We drove down the highway, passing tree after tree. "Do you guys want to get ice cream?" My mom had asked, before I could say anything, Lakin, my best friend who had accompanied me and my mother on our roadtrip, exclaimed "YES!" I felt the car slow and turn a corner. I got out, making sure I looked half decent.
We all entered and immediately I felt something, I looked around, seeing nothing special, continued to the ice cream counter, my mom had gone to pay for the ice cream while me and Lakin had gone over to get ice cream. While waiting, I had noticed a guy, a cashier, no longer can I correctly recall exactly what he looked like, but he had dark curly hair. I continued to notice him, off and on. Out of no where, literally no where, he had said to me, "Hey, how's it going?" and smiled, but he had me at "Hey," the moment in time when I looked into his eyes, things had felt, squishy. My vision blurred slightly, and my legs turned to mush, almost exactly how people in movies described it.
Now don't take me for some mushy head who falls for anyone, I have never believed in love at first sight, but as I said, the second our eyes met for the first time, it was like I blacked out. I don't remember replying; I don't remember leaving the store; all I remember is him. However, according to Lakin's account, I had replied and shortly left. This tiny, little few seconds of time in my life, had completely turned everything quixotic. For days and days, that moment was all I could think of, that and questions flew around in my head, questions like: "who are you?" "where are you?" "how can i find you?" etc. Not more than a couple months later, here I am, almost constantly thinking about the moment that I fell in love at first sight, and lost it just as quick..
