The most magical experience I have ever had. That is the only way to characterise the last six and a half odd months of my life. I wrote a piece a while ago, a sort of letter to love, wondering out loud why it had forsaken me. Hoping against hope that one day I would be able to exclaim, my love is no longer waiting. I said it more in hope then genuine belief. In that moment, as I wrote that letter, I could not see where love would come from. I did not believe I would find anyone I could truly call a lover.
It's funny how someone you didn’t know even eighteen months ago can strut into your life and become the most important part therein. I have been constantly amazed by my girlfriend and her ability to fit seamlessly in to my life. How could anyone have known that there is a Nyaki sized hole that can only be fitted by that specific human? When Savage Garden gave us the hit classic “I knew I loved you before I met you” they had to have been lyricising this exact event...
Sometimes when I’m with my girlfriend I find myself gawking at her, unable to believe that someone could be so beautiful. I can’t get used to it. It is really true what they say about beauty being in the eye of the beholder! Those striking features, her confident demeanour and her dazzling smile add up to a masterpiece. She smiles with her whole face and I personally can’t help but be completely sucked in to her aura when that happens.
I have only known her ten or eleven months, but the connection we have seems like those of lifelong buddies. I tell her way more than I should, and she in turn does the same. We share everything from the mundane to the earth shattering. We laugh a lot, like a lot a lot because both of us have ridiculous anecdotes for just about every life situation. Well, me more than her because I’ve been alive a little longer. Often when I’m telling an inappropriate story, she'll be chuckling along, fully invested in my story without worrying about what kind of a halfwit she’s got involved with. There is nothing that I appreciate more than that!
I have always loved life. I really have. My sunny disposition has made it so, and since she’s been a part of my life the sun seems to shine even brighter. Even the dark days seem to be more dark grey than black. It has been the most exhilarating ride of my entire thirty odd years of life and I cant wait to experience more of it!
