In High School he was a player
A real ROTC pimp
he didn't care about his country, just sleeping around, doing drugs and getting drunk.
I would never of loved him then, as I do know, we went to the same high school but neither of us are the people we are now.
I drank with older guys, way past his age, I didn't have sex but I could still play, I rode bulls, and pumped iron when I wasn't plowing the fields, and he was the crazy senior that I didn't want to be around.
after 2 years we had forgotten each others names, and when we were finally out of each others lives, fate brought us back again.
That first night we talked for 7 hours that day, 3 on my phone where he first told me he loved me, I didn't say it back I just laughed instead...I had no clue I was talking to such a changed man, after he talked to me he didn't go to the clubs for girls, he stationed in Germany, all he wanted was to talk to me his favorite Texas Girl untill way past the late night hours.
A conversation never ended with out him stating that he loved me, and I never took it seriously so I never said it back.
nearly a Year has gone by that we have been close friends, and the last 3 have happened with me being with him.
Now I bow my head in a silents atheist prayer,
Thank you for changing him from a boy that I hated to the man I love now, thank you for making me realize that I want to marry him and no one else, thank you for letting me be so lucky.
Right now I thank the military the most....
