A year ago, a friend who I had met at a con and chatted with for four years, came to meet me in Kentucky. Never really meeting again in person, he decided to come visit me for a few days, to see where it lead.
On this day, a year ago, I lay in bed, crying. I had fallen in love with him, and was scared. He lived so far away. In a voice that was shaking I whispered the fateful three words that I feared would drive him away, to his sleeping form.
He woke up and asked me what was wrong. Again, in the same shaking voice I said "I love you". I couldn't keep it in anymore. I was scared he would run away. Instead, he held me close and said "I love you too".
We both were scared we would drive the other away. Sometimes, I'm not the bravest person. But love has made me as I am, and even though my voice shakes, and I might tremble in the wind,I will speak up for love.
Happy anniversary, Fred. I love you.
Its hard, being so far away. But you are worth it. Thanks for being part of my life.
love,
anniversary,
