How It Started

We met on Skype. Exactly one year ago. It all started with a simple message.
    "Nice profile picture!"
I quickly replied with a thanks. My profile picture was a picture I took of a castle in Ireland where I lived. It was Ashford Castle.
    "What's your name?"   
    "Matt." The stranger replied.
    "I'm Taylor."
We had a long talk over message about things that we were interested in. We had lot in common.  We both liked ceol (music), drawing, anime, skittles, silly things like that. I liked him. He was nice, sweet, and kind.
    "What aimsir (time) is it for you?"
    "What?" he replied.
    "Do you not speak Irish?"
    "Not at all! I live in America. We don't speak Irish. :P"
I was confused. I've never met someone from America. People say it's a dirty place. But Matt seemed so nice. Curiosity came over me. I asked many questions about America and he asked a lot about Ireland. I learned so much about it. They have a thing called an elevator. I think he means a lift.  Our beatha (lives) are very different from each others.
    Hours went by and we continued to talk. I was six hours ahead of him, so I had to go to bed earlier than him. I had an aisling (dream) about what he looked like. I imagined him with black fluffy hair and the most bluest eyes I have ever seen. But I was wrong.
