| When Aaron and I first met, it seemed like it was by pure chance...we actaully met online, but soon realized that we had several mutual friends, and my best girlfriends had met him a few months previous. Things really clicked with us, and I soon fell in love with him. My previous relationship had fallen through, and things were looking pretty good for us. I was in between my sophomore and junior years of high school at the time, Aaron was a sophomore in college at OU. We planned to meet when I was in OKC. I waited outside to see this wonderful man I was getting to know, he walked up in his cowboy hat, and gave me a huge hug. From the first time he held me in his arms, even for that brief moment, I knew that he was the one. We talked for a few minutes, and I had to go. We continued to talk all summer while he was back in Colorado, and survived the long distance by late nights on the computer, and long distance phone calls for hours at a time. He has always been exactly what I was looking for, like God made him just for me. He is a strong Christian guy, who loves kids (he's a science education major and a Baseball coach), loves family, stands up for his values, has a huge heart, and a love of life. He never forgets to do all the little romantic things, and has always melted my heart. At the end of that summer, when he was back at school and I was started a new school, the time just wasnt right, the distance became too much, and we seperated and went on with our lives. We remained in touch and stayed friends, each secretly wanting a second chance, but vowing not to give in and get hurt again. This past summer before I moved to OU for school, our friendship grew and once I arrived here, we started hanging out again, and I knew almost from the beginning that I was falling for him again, that I had never stopped loving him, and that I would give anything to have a second chance with him. We were at his house one night, he fixed dinner and we were getting ready to go to a football game at the high school where he coaches. We were in his room getting ready to leave, and I ended up kissing him purely by accident. We were both startled, and we talked later on that night. We agreed that it wouldnt happen again, but soon it did. A few weeks later, we had a long conversation about him and I, and the past, and how we both felt. It was the first time we said that we loved each other again. I knew then and there that there was no one else in the world for me. I am so blessed to get to have my second chance with him. I thank the Lord every day for it. There has never been anyone else in my life who has made me so happy or who I have been so in love with. I look forward to spending every day with him, to seeing his smile and his face light up when he sees me, to being able to feel his touch when he holds me close and kisses my lips, to just knowing that he loves me with all his heart, and will love me forever. I couldn't ask for anything more. He is my dream come true, and I look forward to spending my life with him. He is my cowboy, my life, my joy, and my heart. |
