It was five years ago.
Alone with my thoughts-
on a web site-
called
Thoughts.
Doing what I had always been doing-
writing.
(Then, referred to as blogging
due to my connection with the internet.)
This connection that seemed to be the only one I would ever have.
So there I was-
writing
(blogging)
my very heart and soul out
for all to see.
That was when it happened-
sight seen.
Yours.
To mine.
A new connection was made-
mine-
to yours.
We were both unsure-
it was new-
and weird-
but damn!
It felt so right.
I mean, just to know that someone
somewhere
out there
understood me-
knew me-
GOT ME-
well, no matter how unusual the circumstances-
this connection was strong-
strong enough to withstand distance.
How much distance exactly?
How about all the way across the country?!
The miles were far-
for the distance was indeed long-
and yet
no matter how long it seemed
nothing was as long as the days and nights
that had fallen under the reign of loneliness
we both had once succumbed ourselves to.
Thoughts changed-
we changed-
we grew closer-
and as time and circumstance evolved-
so did we.
We became even closer-
until-
before we knew it-
Four and a half years later-
I LIVE HERE NOW!
Being apart was hard
on an EPIC level-
and as much as geography sucks-
we shook it off like a carpet of beetles-
withstanding spoil and foil-
because it was meant to be-
WE were meant to be.
All of that time apart seems like another world now.
But this other world was always ours-
and we were puzzle pieces-
once missing-
thought lost-
just waiting for that perfect moment-
our fitting ceremony.
And now,
five years later-
here we are.
Stronger than ever.
And in the words of your fine self-
(words spoken to me from you-
in that other world)
"We're just getting started."
These five years have been an EPIC testament-
a statement of dedication-
no longer to be crackled over a faulty phone line-
because here we are-
here and now-
you and me-
TOU-gether-
FOUR-ever-
TOU-DAY-
TOU-MORROW-
ALWAYS-
AND BEYOND-
and now
instead of having to dial up and whisper sweet somethings
into a plastic ear piece delivering words to your heart-
I can stand here and shout even sweeter everythings to the world-
our world-
because I live here now-
with you-
and five years?
Well, that is merely a single candle on a love cake-
because
my love-
my BFFSMJTPMCCNOFH-
We ARE indeed just getting started.
Happy five year anniversary!
To You-
to Me-
to Us-
TOU PUS.
