| I have been down on love for pretty much my whole life, but from 1995 to 2000 was the worst. I was happily by myself for 3 years. I really didn't want to meet anyone. I was too scared. I had my friends and my dreams and that sustained me for a long time. Then one day, I realized that I was getting lonely. I missed having someone to cuddle with, to laugh with, to talk to. My favorite store in the mall, of course, is the video game store. I have been a regular there for many years. The manager of the store was one of my good friends that I could just go in there and chat with at any time. I had given up on finding my knight or my king. I had decided that in this day and age there was no such thing. Then one day my manager took off his disguise and showed me the inside of his heart. Behold, my knight was there all along just waiting for me to come along. We have been dating ever since that fateful day. He is a rose opening up in the morning dew. He is my life now. Just thinking of him brings a smile to my face. I still get sad at times as we all do, but then he will do something silly or loving and make me smile again. He proposed to me in October of 2002 and of course I said yes. We will be getting married sometime in 2004. I still can't believe that I have found someone who takes such good care of me. He treats me like a jewel that needs to be lovingly polished every day. He would never do anything to hurt me in any way. I had a flaw when he found me of sadness and he does his best every day to polish this flaw away with his love. I don't know if it will ever fully go away as so much happened to cause it to be there. But if anyone can do it, it will be him. He is always patient with me even when I am at my most annoying. He listens to me and looks into my eyes showing me that he really cares about anything I have to say. He really enjoys hearing about my day. How did I ever deserve such a man as this? |
