Her Side of the Story: We met in high school. Some say I was a "stalker".. I call it knowing what I wanted and being persistent. It was love at first sight for me, it took him quite awhile to catch up. Although we lost touch for 20+ years, thanks to Facebook he reached out during one of my roughest years. From that first hello all those years later it was as if time never passed. We picked up our friendship right where we left off. I couldn't have made it through without his support, encouragement and strength. It would still be a few years before we crossed that friendship line and made it something more. He had some navigating of his own to do. But through it all we always knew we could count on each other to be there for one another. We were always just a call or text away. My persistence created a very good friendship and a bond that we would find out years later is unbreakable. I cannot imagine my life without this man by my side. He is my other half, my soul mate, my twin flame, My Forever.. His Side of the Story: High school was a challenging part of my life to say the least. Dealing with a stalker wasn't the worst of it :). At first I didn't realize how important she would be to me. We became friends and very close friends before we went our separate ways. During that time I learned to lean heavily on her. She was always thoughtful, caring and stressed how important to her it was that I be happy in any aspect of my life. It was for these reasons we became more than friends all these years later. I love our story, I love how we started back as friends learning to depend on each other in our crazy lives. She kept me sane and more importantly showed me that I was worth the trouble. Our love grew more and more each day. My wall had no defense against her amazing smile. Her eyes tell a story of love, compassion and a loyalty beyond measure. She will forever be my Sweetness! and I am looking forward to living out the rest of my days with her by my side.
