Zsa Zsa Zsu

As I sat there watching Sex and the City, I thought to myself, is this true? This zsa zsa zsu that Carrie was talking about? Possible?
That's when the phone rang, and there it was! The zsa zsa zsu! It's really incredible how your heart skips a beat and then runs into overdrive at the sight of a name on a call. You pick up the phone slowly, look at it ringing, and as you answer it, there are butterflies in your stomach.
I look at the phone ringing, and before I realize it I pick it up. And the sound of his voice makes me feel so jittery. After years, it still feels like I'm in high school talking to him. I love how he makes me feel so tiny and fragile! I think everyone at some point likes to be made to feel special. What is so amazing here is that I am not even that special for him (yet?) but I still feel like the most gifted retard in the house when he calls!
It is a long story that has gone on for years. A kind of mating dance, a ritual that I have now mastered simply because I have grown up with it! For years, I have danced on this tune where he is concerned, and it makes me wonder, what if? It makes me wonder what now.
I still love how tiny you make me feel, how special you make me feel, how absolutely beautiful you make me feel. And just for the sake of feeling like this, I am willing to dance this tune for the next decade. Yes, it might've been a decade since we started out, but it feels like it was just yesterday, the memories fresh in my mind, seeing you that first time at school, gangly and awkward. I thank the stars it was my class you were in, and not someone else's. I remember coming to school early just to see you play basket ball. I remember the long telephone conversations we used to have.. I remember getting back home from school and eagerly looking for an excuse just so that I could call you up!
And I remember not talking to you for twelve long years. Yes, danced to that tune as well. I remember that I remembered you all through the years. Its been a bumpy and thrilling ride, my dear. And I can't wait to go round the next turn.
This zsa zsa zsu has gone on for a very long time, and trust me it still feels amazing to be in love with you.
