My overlook

At the overlook, I tend to sit and contemplate. Sometimes, it's how miserable I am, other times it's how happy I am. Today, I went to think about my love. When he came here to visit me, we went twice. The first time was at night. It was cool and windy and the sky was perfectly clear. There were a million stars, and it was truly the most gorgeous sky I had ever seen. Having him hold me while I looked up made it one of the best nights of my life. We went back the next day. The sky was clear and blue, the view was gorgeous, and being in his arms made my favorite place even more wonderful. Today, it was a bit overcast and cool. The leaves are beginning to change, and I could see the colors all the way to PA.

There were several couples that stopped in while I was there. They were all holding each other like he held me. Many gazed at the beautiful view, then into their loves' eyes, then kissed. A couple who appeared to be in their late 30's or early 40's stopped by. The lady took pictures while her gentleman stared adoringly at her. She noticed the messages of love written on the rock wall (LM + KG 7/09 and similar sentiments). She pointed and smiled, I'm guessing telling her love how wonderfully romantic it was (I'm only guessing, as I was too far away to actually hear them). Her man went to the car, brought back a sharpie marker and wrote their initials on the rocks, among the other young lovers' marks. When his lady realised what he was doing, she giggled and smiled. They cuddled together for a while, and kissed quite a few times. Seeing that (and the rest of the couples) made me smile, but also made me miss my love very much. It was bittersweet to say the least. I can't wait to see him again. I want for us to be one of those happy couples I saw today, and I know we will.
