Sixteen Candles - or years in my case.

Saturday marks sixteen years Mike and I have been together. There have been ups and downs, but as I write this I have a rush of emotions that remind me how lucky I am. I was talking to someone about relationships, someone in their twenties who lamented they hadn't met anyone, had never been in love and how sad that made them. It got me thinking.

 

I've been out for about half my life. I came out when I was twenty three. Had my first 'boyfriend' that year. I don't know how many dates I went on, or how many boyfriends I had, but I can think of three people I was serious about before Mike, two of whom I said I love you to. It has taken me many years to realize, but Mike is the only person I've ever really loved. Sad, sappy, silly, whatever, I can't imagine life without him.

 

And yes, I plan to tell him that again - just as I have many times before [You don't think I am THAT stupid that I am going to let him get away did you?]

 

Okay, enough cheese for a Thursday - I know some are gonna give me grief for this post but before you do, let me preempt you - oh never mind - go right ahead, it won't bother me, not today at least. ^_^

That's really beautiful. I agree whole heartedly with all the comments here thus far. You are a wonderfully nice guy and Mike is so crazy lucky to have you. :D (As you are to have him, too)

 

You really are tugging at the heart strings with this blog entry. :P

 

This just makes me so puzzled, though. Your anthology story last year, I still don't know where you got the guts to do what you did with one of your main characters there. Weren't those two also together so long? Gosh, those parallels would make me cry!

 

Wishing you another sixteen years (and more) of happiness and love with your Mike (and family :) )

No, I get it. Sometimes the sap overcomes us. It's not always obvious day after day, year after year, as we get comfortable in our lives and our partners. It's good to feel that rush of love overcome you every so often. Reminds us that what we have is just as special as those beginning moments in a relationship. Good for you, Mr. Sap Master!!

"...Mike is the only person I've ever really loved." Guys named Mike have that effect on people. :P
