You electrify my life
Seven months ago I travelled 600 miles to meet Amber (
maypirate) in person for the first time. We had only known each other for a month, but during that month we talked online and on the phone so often that it felt like we had known each other for much longer than that. She was funny, intelligent, attractive, sassy, and dreamed of someday punching people in the face. After only a couple weeks of chatting I knew I was into her and I had to meet her.
So I did! I said I was going up to Wisconsin to visit old friends, which was true, but the trip was really about Amber. We had an amazing weekend together, but as I drove away Monday morning, I wondered if I'd see her again. I knew I wanted to, because the day after I got home I missed her so much that I physically hurt. She felt the same way, against all of her expectations. One month later I was back, and even though we each had our own strong reservations about our chances, we decided to give this relationship a try.
That was six months ago. Once again it feels like far longer, but at the same time it feels like the months have flown by. I'm living in Wisconsin now, a decision I've never once regretted. Although these past six months have been personally stressful as I've dealt with unstable employment and other life frustrations, Amber has been a constant source of happiness and strength. She's pushed me forward when I've come to a halt. She's been there for me when I've felt overwhelmed. When we're together, the only worry on my mind is whether I'm being as wonderful to her as she is to me. It's hard to remember what my life was like before she became a part of it. I don't want to know.
Last night we celebrated our anniversary by staying in. We watched Battle Royale and drank sake. I cooked kenchin soup and ginger pork. We fell asleep watching MST3K: Space Mutiny. Earlier that afternoon I surprised her at work with flowers. The look on her face was totally worth it. "But it's only been six months!" she said. That's true; six months is relatively short. We've both dated other people for years. Our relationship is only starting out, but I say we couldn't have asked for a better start.
Happy six months, Amber! You are my love, my friend, my co-conspirator, my inspiration. Thank you for taking a chance on some Internet boy from Tennessee. Even though it's only been six months, I can't wait for the next six, and all of the months after that.
