"You Seem To Know Alot About Women... Why Are You Single?"

Danielle: "The inbox that started it all...lol. In May of 2019, while out with my friends I got a gut feeling. With a blanked out look on my face, I told them that I had a feeling that my person was about to enter my life. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt like he was near... I later found out that he was. But I shook it off, and went on with my life. I was at a point where I was happily single and healed emotionally. I wasn't looking for anyone. Just enjoying me. So much that my friends was worried that I would remain single forever. Lol.

One night, I saw a post from a guy(DeWayne) on my TL. It was spot on, and sparked a curiosity in me. So I looked at his page. I saw that he was single, and in a brave moment I inbox him this smart comment..

"You Seem To Know Alot About Women... Why Are You Single?"

Smh. He answered "How do you know that I single"? I responded "Because your page says so" . He laughed and we started conversing from there. Through communicating we realized that I knew his sister and her husband was my God brother. He then asked me on an official date at HAD Lounge for a poetry night and to surprise his sister and my God brother. We met up at HAD and I got that feeling again that I had at the coffee shop. We went out again that Sunday, and that Monday he asked me to be 'His Queen'. He actually asked me on our second date, but I didn't believe him. Lol. We been inseparable ever since.

"DeWayne's Version"

So boom, there I was restoring my energy and preparing myself for the day ahead. I received a message and glanced at it. Slowly I started to respond, then I hesitated. The message stated "You seem to know a lot about women, why are you single?" I laughed, read her name and smiled. I responded and browsed her profile. Discovering how intellectual she was by reading her post, then came across how full of energy and life she seemed by viewing her smile in each photograph. By then we text and talked throughout the night and it was something about her I just couldn't put my finger on. The following morning I responded to her last message around 10am. From that point we messaged each other throughout each and everyday. Finally we exchanged numbers, I wasn't really looking for anything but wounded up with everything. Something that wishes couldn't grant but prayers could answer. Someone and something you'd prayer for. Talking to her felt soul-taking....her laugh and smile I could feel it through the phone. WE WOULD TALK FOR HOURS only to get off the phone and message each other. A couple of days later we decided to finally meet. We met at H.A.D. Lounge and oh what a vibe. Music, drinks, poetry and the feeling and anticipation of seeing her for the very first time was unexplainable. Nervous but I wasn't nervous, patient but impatient, she created something I'd never quite felt before. Seemingly everything about that night fell right into place. From the dim low lights, melodic, cultural, fearless, unchained and uncaged atmosphere....she read me like sheet music and I felt every word, from the vibrations of her tone, wait...no. from the vibrations of her tone(s). Complexion and inception. Vibration causes the air column inside the instrument to vibrate. The bass, the trombone and the woodwind sound waves parallel to a saxophone hold up, in layman terms... Nina Simone, yea...definitely Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and Anita Baker vibes. We locked hands and I carried no thought of letting go. Her friends and affiliates even noticed something was different, a good different. It felt like, it was always us. Sort of like we shared love once before, souls were interlocked. Possibly centuries and lifetimes of compassion and nothing could stop us from finding our way back to each other. That night, I thought I knew she was the one and by looking on the outside in you would of too. From the chemistry, to the history our ancestors roped the ancestry unknowingly but intentionally created that window. Not only to meet but to create something more power than us. Something we didn't understand then but with time we would be each others song, each others lyrics, each others dance and vibration and now soulmates and the rest as they say is history.
