1 post from November 2008

it was four years ago on this weekend that my entire outlook on life began to metamorphose into something peculiar, unfamiliar yet euphoric. 

i have had relationships before.  nothing this long or quite as intense.  never have i travelled all over the world to be with one person.  i swore last time i moved to be with someone that i would not do it again.  but this was an exception i could not pass up. 

not that it has been easy.  some of the time, even what may seem like most, there have been disagreements and petty arguments that go on.  but all i have to do is look at his face or glance at his beautiful hands and hold that body of his that seems to naturally fall perfectly into mine and any anxieties or tensions seem to vanish, to dissipate as if they were never apparent. 

i have many things to be thankful for on this day of reflection.  despite media pressures to feel consumed with anxiety over what is going on a global scale financially or personally with our attempts to apply for the visa that seem to breed a whole range of uncertainties and concerns, the positives outweigh anything in that other list. 

i know that i am not with him right now.  but every night as i hold my pillow i imagine that it is him, that he is directly next to me.  which he is and always will be no matter where we are physically. 

one day soon this will be behind us and we will begin to build the life together that we have been speaking about for so very long. 

above all other aspects to be grateful for, this enduring love is the ultimate gift that i cherish.  i thank life that love can be this good. 

and i thank that man halfway across the globe for his unconditional love over the last four years. 

you are beyond words. 

thnx.
