My Spouse

Okay, due to the encouragement of my friend 'that girl' I'm posting about my spouse (and by the way if two mouse or mice then shouldn't two spouse be spice? hee hee hee) this is actually an excerpt from a journal entry I wrote I guess it was like three years ago now.

Porch Swing

The other night at the insistence of my partner we went for a walk. A long winding walk that ended up in front of a house in a nice residential neighborhood not far from the university. He stopped me with our back to a gray stonewall and pointed at white house across the street with a bay window and a porch swing. I leaned against him, his hand resting on my shoulder as he told me.
“A few months ago I was feeling sorry for myself, convinced I was going to die alone.... I decided to go for a walk; I ended up standing right about here. I looked up there wasn’t a could in sky, and it was beautiful clear night, stars shining overhead... Just a beautiful night, I stopped here and saw that house, notice the swing on the porch there... Well I looked at the sky and thought what do I have to complain about? Life has treated me well, and someday fifty or sixty years from now I’ll be able to sit on a porch swing like that, on a beautiful night like this with someone and just hold their hand, not talk, just hold hands and think about what a good life we’ve had... That was back before I knew anything about you, but now I do, and some day it will be us sitting on a porch like that on a beautiful night like this, holding hands just remembering what a great life we’ve had together...” I grinned up at him hugely and he finished, “I just wanted to share that with you.” I was amazed, and answered him softly
“That’s beautiful.” Before he bent to kiss me sweetly.

back off ladies, he's taken, whats more he does things like all of the dishes, and laundry VOLUNTARILY and apologizes when I do it! (am I the luckiest girl on the planet or what? GRIN)
