 this man asleep in bed beside me I am going to tell you a secret about us we saved each other met at a poetry reading it wasn't love at first sight which is always trouble anyway no it wasn't like that we were two angry loners I was the angry feminist poet he was the angry punk rock poet we saved each other seats at poetry night because we didn't care about people or being liked and this was what we had in common telling our stories without the pretty my horrible x boyfriend who could barely read came to a poetry night where I performed as he drunkenly shouted things about my body while I read intense poetry about being abused by men like him I was mortified we were sitting next to my future husband and I didn't know he was my future but I kept moving closer until our legs touched because boyfriend wasn't a safe guy I had to leave early that night nothing worse than being a feminist poet and being with a hick Trump supporter who doesn't understand words and thinks women are just holes to be fucked said boyfriend was quite upset with me that night and insisted I was going to marry Jeremy called me all the names no woman wants to be called but I didn't know Jeremy my future husband and said the truth that I barely knew him this night I try hard to forget 98% sure it was the night A hole boyfriend gave me HPV and possibly cervical cancer I stared at a crack in the ceiling glad for the alcohol in my system I should have left him sooner but I hated myself I thought I deserved it I had a hard time leaving he had two daughters that I had become attached to because I was missing my own daughter hubby and I still laugh because asshole boyfriend predicted our future wondering if maybe Trump lover had the psychic touch it is funny how things work out opposites really don't attract they end up in disaster now I am with my soul mate my shadow twin we met each other in darkness and now we share the light to my shadow twin my best friend my husband I am glad we found each other now that the world is ending I don't mind so much because we have each other I love you more than you know

I love this love story! You and Jerry are beyond perfect for each other. These are the best love stories ever. I also found Neil when I wasn’t looking. I was at my lowest. My 3rd bout of cancer, no breasts, no hair, sick as ever. My husband at the time 3500 miles away having the time of his life and throwing me to the curb. After all, who wants to deal with the ugliness I presented?!? I was in VT dealing with a divorce, selling a home, cancer and attempting to not fall apart. I took the first job I was offered when I returned here from California. This is where I met my future soulmate. I wasn’t interested nor looking, I could barely function and didn’t need any added stress. Besides, what guy wants some boobless broad? Damn, she had a heart of gold but without those boobs would any guy love her again? Neil asked my coworker who the new girl was and to put in a good word for him. I laughed it off. Eventually he introduced himself to me and asked me constantly to hangout on the weekends. I never did. After all, I would need to explain! After months of asking, I figured I would tell him the truth to scare him away and leave me alone (although secretly, I thought he was the sweetest ever). I told him and he fell even harder. Who would have thought? He stood by me as a friend and was so caring and kind. Until my divorce was final and I was more on my feet, we remained friends. The best friends ever. Little did I know that Neil had a story too. He told me he had been in trouble when he was younger with cocaine and did time for it. We all have a past, we all made mistakes, we’re all imperfect messes. I had no problem with that nor his extreme honesty because even to this day, had he not told me, I wouldn’t have known. He also revealed he was struggling with alcohol (now nine years clean). Because of his struggle, he lost everything and was living in a warehouse in the loft of a business his friend owned. He was a single guy, never been married and didn’t really mind as long as he had a roof over his head and a good strong beverage. He met me and wanted more, wanted better and so did I. We were both beautiful messes that found each other and rebuilt our life together. It’s been the best and happiest 13 years of my life. So your and Jeremy’s love story and mine, are the best love stories EVER! 💗
