We met at a mall. It was my first day of work and we met right before he finished his shift. I watched him walk away, feeling a pull that I had never felt before in my life. I dismissed it as just finding him attractive. As time passed we became friends and each time we saw each other I felt like everything around us ceased to exist and it was just us. He laughed at my jokes, we just got each other. He understood me, I understood him. I knew I was I was hopelessly in love with him the first time he played the guitar for me. He played a Tool song and I was hooked, not only on Tool but on him. Everything about him was amazing. The way he looked at me, the way he talked to me, everything. Finally, one night I was at a breast cancer benefit and we were talking on the phone. He told me that I was his girlfriend. Up until that point we hadn't defined our relationship. I knew he was the one but I wasn't sure he knew I was the one. A year later we moved in together. Shortly after we moved in together my father passed away. Cliff was there for me every step of the way. We have gone through death, unemployment, the loss of our apartment due to a hurricane, horrible jobs, and several other things but we are FINALLY going to get married! I am so excited to be marrying my best friend, my biggest fan (I'm also his biggest fan!), my partner in crime, my shoulder to cry on, and the absolute love of my life!
