Hit send

What was I thinking when I went on-line last month.  I didn't think that I would meet anyone.  Maybe I was just in the mood to talk.  The only thing that I know is that I began talking to this wonderful person in a chat room.  It wasn't one of those erotic moments or anything like that.  It was two people that just needed someone else to talk to.  That first talk was over nothing and over everything.  We both had tons on our minds.  He needed to vent over family issues and I needed to vent my work frustrations.  That was a month ago and now I know it must sound crazy but we have been talking on the phone for at least two hours a day.  It is really over nothing but we are definitely becoming closer as the days go by.  I just don't understand how someone I have never seen could move my heart so much.   We have everything in common and we have nothing in common.  We have talked about everything you could possibly think of either on-line in a chat, on the phone, or in an email.  But today he asked me something that changed everything.  1

"I would like to meet you!  Can I come over?"2

Those words echoed through my head for hours after I hung the phone back onto the hook.  What would I tell this stranger I knew.  What could I say to him that had obviously stolen my heart yet scared my heart.  What if he was an ax murderer?  What if I went out with him and... No I was letting my imagination run away with me.  I am an adult.  I can decide something so simple.  All I have to do is say yes or no.  So I turned on my computer and clicked the new mail button.  I slowly typed in his email address in the recipient box.  Then I clicked subject.  "Visit"  There at least I know he will know what this letter is about.  I know I sat in front of the computer forever because suddenly my eyes grew hazy.  OK OK I can do this.  I just have to write yes or no and hit send.  That's it.  The man I have talked to and grown to love will come and meet me for the first time if I hit send.3

"Yes Please come"4
