SHE SAYS …
I have to admit that when I read what you have put here, and look at our lives now – and what they might be … I am in awe. To think of the thousands of circumstances and chances that would cross my life they all lead me to here. To this point in time. It is enough to make me feel blessed, and affirm my belief that indeed there really aren’t bad things in this universe … just many obstacles to overcome.
You talk about feeling that I complete sentences, and in turn you do the same. That is when I know that your longing to be read is not what you want, but someone to write along with you a new and wonderful story. You don’t have to cling to that last rung of your ladder while clutching your story, for in some strange way we have lived in tandem … interwoven through time. And, as I looked through your last love songs … that were put together early January 1974 … it gives me pause. I stop to wonder at that and want to believe that in some way you had felt my prescence enter the world … that I was alive and on my way, but that it would take some time. Now here we are, molded by time and experience … and it is perfect. The wear and tear of circumstance has formed grooves in our souls that interlock with microscopic precision.
As I have written on my other blog … you are like a reservoir of all the hopes, dreams, wishes and desires I thought had gone unanswered. And with each day that passes they are all coming true through you. Let me also add my reasons why this blog is particularly shocking … because it is a secret that I had been holding within myself for a few weeks now … cooking it up in my head.
The other evening as I gave you ideas about places I wanted to do for the next weekend, the one thing I left out was a gift I wanted to give to you. But, I guess I can reveal it now … because the irony is sweet. I am, at the moment, writing a poem (of sorts) for you … which will be written and decorated in a journal I had purchased. Seeing that you are reviving your love of drawing … I thought it would be perfect to have a book where we write poems and such to each other. Pass it one to the other as it is completed … with words … embellishments … drawings … photographs, and whatever else comes to mind. You beat me to the punch with this my dear, but then … I don’t think that comes as a surprise to either of us.
I love the love you give to me, and hope that you feel the same.
Love,
Elizabeth

Awwwwww I’m gushing here
Happy for both of you!!!
Dear Elizabeth,
I am at work, shedding tears of joy as I write this comment. Perhaps we read each other’s minds, too. What you say in this entry about “sensing” your presence in the world might be true. I had been wondering about the age difference between us, and also that I never seemed to find my complement in life, after half a lifetime of looking.
I call this “blog” InternetSerendipity because I feel that “fate” must be at work, and the “Universe” knew what it was doing. I only found my complement when I met you, and it has all worked out better than I had ever imagined.
Love,
Michael
I am so happy for both of you, I’ve read Elizabeth’s ‘secret’ blog for a good while now, and she has always captivated me with her writing. She also knows my ‘deepest secret’ which in a way is so very parallel to your relationship.
I feel so blessed that you both have shared this with me, I am greatly touched, and you two have shined a bright spot of sunshine on a very dreary last few days of my life. This made my week.
Thank you, and very biggest hugs!
Brian

Hi to both Elizabeth and Mike!
Wow… Reading both your words about put me into tears. I’m so happy for you both!! It is always so wonderful when two deserving people finally find their ‘one’.
I wish you both years of happiness and eternal bliss. As I’ve stated before, you both deserve it!
Keeta
such happiness and so deserved:)
Swingin’! [blush, I hope I didn't accidentally use an inappropriate piece of slang. should I have said "bitchin'" or maybe even stayed with a fairly safe "cool"?] Happy for you is what I am, in a non-slang sort of way.
I think that is a fantastic and thoughtful gift. I should have thought of something like that….
