the past couple years have been very enlightening to
me. since graduating high school a few years back, i
have moved away from a life-long home, started the road
to my "career" and met the girl of my dreams. life is
funny at times, i remember when i first moved away just
a few days after graduation. i was leaving a set of
friend whom i had known for 18 years nearly, and
leaving my "first love" back in my home town. college
brought a large learning experience that extended
almost exclusively beyond the classroom. some of the
best advice my father ever gave me was to live my life
for me, and to do things to the best of my ability. i
didn't do my best, and in turn failed three classes my
first year in college. on top of that, my older sister
(my best friend) got married to a guy nobody would have
EVER picked for her. to put the icing on the cake, my
first love left me for another guy...all of which
happened within a couple weeks of each other. needless
to say, life had finally caught up with me.
despite of all the bad things that happened during my
first year of college, i did however have some good
experiences that came through the bad. i definitely
learned that this was for real, and that i had to try
in the classroom. math was always a difficult subject.
in fact, it was one of the classes i failed my first
semester. despite failing the class, i did make a new
and life-long friend named Alyshia. meeting this girl
was like a scene from a movie...there she was, all
beautiful and smart with all of her jealous friends
gathered around noticing how wonderful she was. Evan,
my roommate at the time, and my best friend of 16 years
has always gotten the girls when it came to the two of
us, but for some reason, Alyshia noticed me instead. we
became fast friends, and she was always a good source
of advice when my first love and i had trouble or a
fight. as it turns out, with each passing day of seeing
her in class, and talking about life at night, i found
myself quickly falling for her while "in love" with my
"high school sweetheart." our nightly talks and "math
tutoring" quickly turned into hours of telling stories
of our lives, and flirting oh-so discretely. when my
first love finally left me around christmas time that
year, Alyshia was there to give me advice, but at more
of a distance than ever before. she had met a guy there
at school who swept her off her feet, and it seemed as
though my chance was gone. for a full year, i watched
her give herself to him in any way she thought would
make him love her, but to no avail. he used her, taking
everything from her, never reciprocating even the least
bit. looking back, if i was not such a lanky
individual, i would have probably tried to knock some
sense into his football player brain. eventually, i
gave up, and figured i would never have a chance to go
on a date with Alyshia...the girl who had never ceased
to amaze me.
in september of 2008, i decided to visit the school
Alyshia and i had attended the previous year in hopes
of running into her and some old friends. i found all
the friends i had hoped to see, and had a great
time...but didn't get to see alyshia. she was not
"allowed" to keep up a friendship with any guy because
of her ongoing manipulative boyfriend. i gave her a
call to try and just hear her voice one last time, but
only got an answering machine. after leaving the school
and returning home, i received a call a couple days
later. i was overjoyed to hear Alyshia's voice on the
other end of the telephone. she and this guy had
finally broken up for good, and she wanted to hang out
with me...i was ecstatic. it was only a few days before
we cut through all the "red tape" and finally went on
our first date. in mere minutes we were picking up
where we had left off back in december of the previous
year. we caught up on each other's lives, and retold
some old stories we cherished from the previous year.
one such was the first and only time (until the date)
that i took her for a ride in my YJ. it was a cold
november night, and i took her to McDonald's to cheer
her up after getting yelled at by her psycho boyfriend.
we both laughed at how there was frozen water in the
cup-holder and no top or doors on the jeep for that
frigid midnight drive.
before long, we went on a second date, and finally
became an item. i have thanked the Lord each day since
for the blessing of meeting her, and as lame as some
may think it is, i write her a love letter every day.
we have spoken of how much we love one another, and how
we always wished we had been each other's first
loves...because we never would have gotten our hearts
broken. not too long ago, i asked her if she thought
she could spend her life with a goofy looking guy like
me. she responded saying how she only wants a child if
it will be a boy who will look like me one day. as
foolish as some may say (and maybe it is, but we don't
care) we have talked about how we cannot wait to get
married in a couple years, and she recollects the day
she "knew" she wanted to marry me. i asked her which
day she decided she "knew" i was the one for her, and
she claims it to be the day i took her for her first
ride in the jeep to McDonald's that cold, windy night
back in November of 2007.
i have never met a girl who EVER had so much to bring
to the table in a relationship/marriage, and i know
that i will never forget her no matter what may happen
to us in the future. not a day goes by where i don't
see once more why i love her so much, and why she is
such an amazing girl. who knew that this beautiful,
5'5'' 100 pound girl with Suzie Q brown eyes would fall
for a regular old guy like me? she could have been the
prom queen EASILY in high school, when i was on the
wrestling team, track team, and marching band..
:laugh:
I just wanted to rant, and tell the story of the girl i
love...Alyshia Renee Burris
