Anniversary

August 18, 2019 by nosmallaffairs

Sixteen years. 16. It seriously boggles my mind, and makes me incredibly happy.

Frankly I never started this affair wondering how long it would last. Does it sound crazy to say, I’ve always known it would be my forever love and relationship? I know, crazy.

You know I don’t know if there will ever be a time in our lives where we will be living together. Not convinced that is a goal anymore. But I do know that for the last 16 years of my life I would not change a thing.

I simply cannot imagine life with out him. I am grateful this has been such an integral part of my life. I am content, busy, fulfilled, happy, strong and blessed in this life.

We both have complete full demanding lives. And we have our life. We have us.

Man, 16 years together….thank you my love.

Never Ending Support

May 25, 2015 by nosmallaffairs

I cannot believe how long I have abandoned my blog. Damn, life just gets in the way. But, we must live it, and that can mean that there is not the extra time to write about it.

You my dear sweet secret love, I am ever grateful for your continued presence in my life. Thank you for loving me.

The Truth, but not sadly

July 27, 2014 by nosmallaffairs

“One day, whether you are 14, 28, or 65
You will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die

However, the saddest most awful truth, you will ever come to find –

Is they are not always with whom we spend our lives.”

Our Care For One Another

August 31, 2013 by nosmallaffairs

When sadness touches both of our lives, we are still with one another.

Your recent loss – my dear sweet love, I am glad I could be there for you. I hope my words, my listening ear, my love for you have helped.

My own sad news, oh how I hate that she so young knows the word cancer. I am grateful for your comfort, your words, your understanding. It is comfort given that can only come from you that I seek.

Once again, as has always been, our lives parallel one another.

As does our love for one another.

My Love, I Thank You

December 5, 2012 by nosmallaffairs

Love is our true destiny.

We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone.

We find it with another.

The Definition of Love

November 13, 2012 by nosmallaffairs

The Definition of Love

Recited by Julia Sawalha and Ben Miles in Lark Rise to Candleford

THE DEFINITION OF LOVE
by Andrew Marvell

I.
MY Love is of a birth as rare
As ’tis, for object, strange and high ;
It was begotten by Despair,
Upon Impossibility.

II.
Magnanimous Despair alone
Could show me so divine a thing,
Where feeble hope could ne’er have flown,
But vainly flapped its tinsel wing.

III.
And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixed ;
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.

IV.
For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close ;
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrannic power depose.

V.
And therefore her decrees of steel
Us as the distant poles have placed,
(Though Love’s whole world on us doth wheel),
Not by themselves to be embraced,

VI.
Unless the giddy heaven fall,
And earth some new convulsion tear.
And, us to join, the world should all
Be cramp’d into a planisphere.

VII.
As lines, so love’s oblique, may well
Themselves in every angle greet :
But ours, so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.

VIII.
Therefore the love which us doth bind,
But Fate so enviously debars,
Is the conjunction of the mind,
And opposition of the stars.

He Allows Me to be Me

September 27, 2012 by nosmallaffairs

It is always amazing to me how he (my love) and I can lead such parallel lives while living such separate lives and at quite a distance from one another.

He is going through some truly major life changes. Not his health as that is fine, thank goodness. It’s just the kinds of things that we all have to go through and make decisions about as we get older. Still blows me away how ‘old’ we are getting.

I too find myself going through some major changes. He loves me through them. I hope he never forgets how ‘there’ I am for him too. But, as with a relationship that has lasted over a decade, there is a comfortable back and forth of care, love, strengths, weakness, picking each other up, and allowing each of us our space.

As I have commented before, I never put much stock into the word soul-mate. I guess it is just like never believing in a ghost until you see one.

As we live our lives apart and together, it just amazes me how alike we are, and how our experiences we are going through are always the same. And that is whether they are good or bad things.

It has always been an ironic part of our lives, and one that I am so thankful we have together.

Damn, I love him. He is and always will be the love of my life.

I am so grateful of his support as I am venturing out and entering a new path in my life. I am so happy I am not alone.

No Doubts

Distance doesn’t ruin a relationship.

Doubts do.
