Our story

by Brenda   Feb 4, 2018


Giving up on love
wasn't an easy thing
for me...
Two failed marriages,
resulting in explosive break-ups,
had me running for the hills
at the smallest gesture
of kindness...
-
then I met you
-
I was always working,
grinding away
to keep a roof over my girls heads.
Didn't drink,
wasn't the social butterfly
one needed to be
to possibly meet someone...
-
then I met you
-
So I stepped off that cliff,
freefalling,
joined an online dating site.
Nervous as hell, not so sure,
was this really a good idea?
-
then I met you
-
You answered me "smile"
which truly has made my life worthwhile.
We chatted via email,
we chatted via phone,
we finally met and really talked
like friends who had known each other forever...
Both with issues,
both with baggage and bumps in the road.
It didn't matter though,
we both knew we had found
our "one"
the one who most never find
no matter how many
lives they live.
This Pisces girl has finally
found her Pisces boy-
Aaah, now this is love...

What's yours?

    Hi Brenda. I seem to have failed to comment on this when I read it a while back. Sorry!

    I thought my sonnet oozed heartfelt emotion, but this love story beats that hands down.

    There is something special about coming through adversity and finding a dream come true. It's the wanting the underdog to win...

    You won big time. Way to go, Brenda, way to go... :) x
