Her purpose 

That was the lesson; her purpose in my life.  Although short as it was, time well spent.  She said I lacked confidence.  I only lacked confidence in her presence.  She made me weak in the knees with every smile, her tongue thrust forward behind clenched teeth. How her first and second fingers grasped the stray hairs and in one delicate pull, they’d tuck them behind her left ear.  Her eyes glistened as they came into focus on mine. She knows this.  It is her greatest strength and my greatest weakness.  Her gift to me.  I’m on top of the world. Never again will I miss out.
