we met 10 years ago at a party and became fast friends. hanging out, buddy kind of thing.
five years ago i kissed him like i meant it. he kissed me back, and we've been involved sexually and emotionally since...while maintaining the friendship.
two years ago i realized he was my best friend. the best friend i've ever had. and, yeah, he feels the same way.
seven months ago i fell in love with him on the metro in paris. i thought i'd been in love before...lots of times. but not like this. it's blinding, consuming...i could drown in it. and i've never known such joy.
so be patient, people. be friends, be lovers. and if you're really, really lucky the true love willl come. i'm 43 and it's just happened to me.
