Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

I was hiking down and you were hiking up the Waterbury Trail. You stepped aside so I could pass, but I said "no, you go first, I don't want to break your cadence". I was thrown off balance the whole way down by your sparkling eyes and cheerful disposition. There were three cars in the lot: Accord, Arteon, and GTI. Hike or coffee sometime?

You were dancing up front and commented to me that the last song, Earth, Wind & Fire’s “That’s the Way of the World” was relatable given that you are of a certain age. I agreed with your sentiment.

I spy...a woman who needs to find her own man and stay away from my husband. It's all fun and games until you can't play by the rules. I've said it not once, not twice, but THRICE. The game is over. Your actions most definitely NOT represent those of a goddess and you are giving women a bad name.

You were enjoying coffee after recycling and I wasn't abd idler, just a VPR listener. We chatted about cycling.

Friday evening 4/22, 6:30ish, just returned to my car with a coffee and looked up to see your sweet smile passing by! We kept catching each other, exchanging grins. I wanted to say hi but my shy self was too nervous and glued to my seat! Ha. I really wish I had. Your smile and presence made me feel good, thank you.

It was a warm day in January when we met. On the same day this year it was below zero the whole day. You gave up on me in my time of need. Are you still content with your decision? Are you happy? On warm days like this I can't help but to think of you. You are flawed (like everyone) and I treated you like you were perfect. we are both guilty, only you got to choose your sentence.

We met outside of Kneed Bakery. You were waiting for your mom; I was waiting for food. My dog was super thankful for the pets. I'd love to talk again if you'd like.

I am looking for Emily the Bubble Fairy from Bolton Valley. You were blowing bubbles of happy from the chairlift. We took a picture on the tower at sunset, and I thought I’d see you again. I didn’t. There’s no way this is gonna work, but how serendipitous the whole thing would be if it does…

I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night, dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light..
Up the stairs, I was there….
Maybe we got lost-in-translation, maybe I asked for too much, maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up

I did not see you, you cannot have seen me, but I heard you singing on a porch on North Willard street near Archibald around 8:00pm on Thursday, 3/31. Your creamy, unaffected alto lingers in my mind and I can't remember my own name. Oh Jeremiah indeed.
