Exhilaration

The conversation was going back and forth, much like a tennis ball in the U.S. Open. Bouncing one way, a tactful volley here, a slam there, but never finding itself off the court. Both of us trying to outsmart and outpace the other but neither of us ever getting the upper hand; it was the epitome of equilibrium. We sat there, doing our school work as young undergraduates do and she had to leave. For a brief moment our eyes locked and I could do nothing but stare into those hazel green eyes. For the first time in my life a moment seemed like an eternity, as the image of those beautiful eyes and the personality behind them burned into my long-term memory. Something stirred inside of me... it was the exhilaration of realizing that you are in some small way attracted to someone. Not the in-love kind of way, but in the way when you realize that someone is a very cool person and you would love to go on a date with them. Whether it happen in person or online, this kind of exhilaration could happen to you!
