The story of us...
On the 'about us' page is a brief summary of who we are and how we met and the love between us .. but it doesn't even scratch the surface of the depth of feeling , the absolute trust and entirely consuming thoughts and passion we have for each other and also the utter gratitude we feel each and every day . It's a love so pure and honest and complete that it makes me laugh with joy . It literally bubbles from me .
You might think we got lucky , that it was happenstance but I think it was so much more than that ... and I'll tell you why - bit by bit .
It all starts a long time ago .. when I was a child and an avid reader . My morals and desires were most definitely shaped in between the pages of Enid Blyton , CS Lewis , E Nesbit , Hans Christian Andersen , Aesop's fables and Tolkien . Not to mention the original King Arthur & The Knights of the Round Table . I had a strong moral compass and wanted a warrior knight to sweep me away, be chivalrous in his attitude and capable of anything ! I was a Scorpio and wanted my equal . That proved a tough ask over the years and I didn't get anything like that .
'Trying to do the right thing' became my mantra . The right thing for everyone but me !
Fast forward ... to 2018 ... to be continued ..
This was a poem I wrote after we had been together a couple of months :
Wandering through youth, waiting for years
Making choices in faraway places
Wondering if fate had forgotten us
Or was it all just a cliche
You sat at a cafe and thought about me
I lay on the beach and dreamed of you
Time passed , the yearning lessened
Hope was cast aside
Maybe nothing was destined
And then it happened
When least expected
Lightning strikes
In a time unprecedented
He found the one , the one he wrote of
She found her warrior , he was complete
They talked with passion and laughed for hours
Familiarity making hearts skip beats
Lost souls have found their way
to places they were meant to stay
Dark thoughts can fade away
You’re not alone . I’m here to stay
