Post a Comment On: Under Construction

I remember the time I was talking to you on ICQ at 2 in the morning not long after I had broken up with the ex. I was a mess and you told me to come over so I did. You sat next to me and listened until 4am even though you had homework and work and then I went home feeling better.

I remember the night my grandma died and I came over and cried my eyes out and fell asleep in your arms and felt happy even though I was sad.

I remember the way you sang and danced without inhibition when we went to our first dance party together and I remember thinking how perfect you are.

I remember talking to you at Blue Velvet and blurting out the word soulmate even though I didn't fully understand at the time why I said it.

I remember the moment I realised chemistry was real and not just made up for the movies.

I remember all those pitfalls when I was scared and you were scared and how we fell in them but climbed back out again.

I remember waking up in hospital with your hand on my face and tears on your cheeks.

I remember all the excuses we made to see each other, we drank tea and played Yoshis Cookie until there were no excuses left.

I remember our first Christmas together. We sat on a tropical island in South East Asia and ate the local fish served to us by a transvestite and watched the sun set. I looked at you and thought about how happy I was and wondered where all the everyday worries went.

I remember the way you dealt with the hotel in Thailand. Your first time overseas you went straight downstairs and asked them to fix the aircon, even though you knew you couldn't speak the language. And they fixed it and I was so proud of you.

I remember how you thought you would never finish Tafe.

I remember when you told me you didn't think your Dad would ever be proud of you and now when he sees you he is bursting at the seams with pride.

I remember how at the Nightcat no one would dance, and you turned to me and said you would.

I remember so many things that make up the many many reasons for why you mean so much to me.

And I'll never forget how much I love you.

Happy 3 years Ryan, you're a wonderful and intelligent man and I am proud to be your girlfriend!
