My Love Affair (pt1)

I fell in love with written word. They were a release from all that did not fit into the category "a womans place." My loyalties were with you and to an extent still are. I need you. You have taken me through the hardest times of my life, the most difficult of days and the most restless of nights. You shared my bed, my heart, you knew my thoughts, my life. There was truth in you. But at the same time, there was room to think. Though I was free, I was a captive to you. I never wished for freedom. If I must be prisoner to anything, I thought, let it be you! I knew it was going to last forever, and that nothing could tear us apart. We were intertwined. Simply put- it truly was impossible to live without you.

Then one day I heard a word. I thought to myself that it was nothing. Simple conversation. But as I climbed into bed with you that night something was different. I reached for you, but those words began to ring in my ear. I could not think of you at that moment as I was so engulfed in that brief recollection of words heard earlier. I cannot remember the time we spent together that night. I know those words enveloped me. Perhaps it was then that this love affair began.
