I'm a Lucky Girl May 4, 1998, 9pm I often wonder how I got so lucky. Jevim isn't some big celebrity, but I wouldn't want him to be, as I want him all to myself. He's smart, but he's not a molecular biologist (who knows, he probably could have been!), and I like it that way. Yes, he knows things about computers that I don't, but I understand at least some of what he knows. He doesn't make a million dollars a year, and while that might be nice, I'm richer than any billionare, having him in my life. I don't know why the words come so hard when it comes to writing about how much I love him, but this is my attempt. When I'm with him, curled up beside him or wrapped in his arms, I feel so safe and so content, I wish we could stay that way forever. Walking through a mall with him, just holding hands, I feel ten feet tall, knowing that people see he's with me. I remember several years ago, when I was still in high school and went to summer day camp at the YMCA, we went to Knott's Berry Farm -- an amusement park in Orange County, California one day. I was standing alone in line at the log ride (I was probably going on 17, and the counselor knew me from school and let me go by myself since I didn't really have any friends in the group). There was this young couple -- maybe a bit younger than I am now -- and it was easy to see just how in love they were. I knew then and there, that was what I wanted. I never thought I'd find it, but I have. It's hard to believe at times. It's hard, too, to believe Jev and I have known each other nearly two years now (two years June 10th since we first chatted on IRC, two years July 24th since we both realized we were falling for each other, and two years in October sometime since we first met face to face). It's equally hard to believe that we only have about a year left until he's done with school completely. Sometimes that year seems like an eternity, but the days do pass faster than I had expected them to, and one day the countdown will reach zero and we'll be together for good. Yes indeed, I'm a very lucky girl. I hope some day every one of you is so lucky. || Previous Entry | Next Entry || || Home | Journal Index || < back two < previous < [ list all | next five | random ] This Webring site owned by Lisana. > next > ahead two > [ about open pages | about webring ]
