My first poem in over a year...

This is dedicated to D.


Untitled

How can you ever understand how much you mean to me?

I see you are I soar...I can do anything.

You leave and it devastates me for days.

I am truly lost without you.

I see you in the rising sun as you fill me with warmth.

I see you in the bright, full moon as you make me calm and confident.

I see you in the crashing ocean waves as you move me with your vibrant personality.

I see you in the flowers that grow as you are silent and strong in my eyes.

I love you and admire you so much yet how can I truly show you how much you mean to me?

Him

As I have been wrapped up this week with all sorts of stuff I managed to overlook the one major thing that has happened this week (excluding Sooie's wedding). D and I have been dating for 1 month as of November 1st!

It's amazing how much my life has changed in just a month.

For those who don't know our story I will tell you.

D and I met online about 8 years ago. According to him, he did an online search for female firefighters in the tri-state area because he was interested in a female perspective on the job. Apparently I was the first listing and he contacted me on my MySpace profile page. I remember the initial message. I though it was weird that he contacted me out of the blue but I though he was cute and I was intrigued, so I answered him. We talked for awhile back and forth for several years losing touch in 2006 and then picking up again in 2007. We were both dating other people and he lived out of state so dating him really never crossed my mind I guess. We finally met face to face in 2007 when he came down to meet me and had been down here a few times after that prior to our dating. No matter what happened we always seemed to email or message and stay in touch.

This past summer when I broke up with my ex I called D because I was upset and wanted to talk to someone. He was always a good listener and was very comforting. He called me the next day to check on me and we started talking about relationships and the like. Was I shocked when he came out and told me that he has had a crush on me for the last 8 years! After much consideration and discussion we decided to give a relationship a try. We had both been in long term relationships before and understood that they took a lot of work but we were game.

Our first kiss happened at the train station when I arrived to pick him up on his first visit since we had decided to date. The gods honest truth is I have never been this comfortable with anyone before. We are very similar (which is kinda scary) but different so our relationship is interesting. He makes it very easy to love him and is very forgiving when I have a bad day and need to call him and vent.

So there is our story. Hopefully it will continue for a long time to come. :)
