OK....I know what I said...

Time to rediscover me, no new relationships...explore planet me for a while....yeah, well, the best laid plans of men (or women)...

Well let me fill you in, firstly I am now in a relationship...but...in my defense it is not as such a NEW relationship, just a variation on an old one...

Back at the beginning of the year I met a chap on here, we got on like a house on fire, completely at ease with each other, had plenty in common and could always find something to talk about. We decided that an actual relationship wouldn't work because of distance and too much baggage at the time on both sides. For eight months though we have kept in touch, regular phone calls, through all my mistakes and let downs here, he has always been there lifting me up when I needed it, laughing with me, letting me cry on him...the only person I can put my hand on heart and say that he would always be there 24/7.

Anyway when I walked away from my last let down...he was there..recently having ended a relationship himself..so started more phonecalls and texts. Everyone that knows me knows I do not do phone calls, texts yes, calls no...and here I was on the phone for one, two, three, four hours at a time. What a change from the one I walked from...suddenly I had someone taking the time to text at all times, someone calling to make sure I was ok, being there when things got difficult. No excuses about not visiting...prepared to do a two hour bus drive to see me...and wanting me to visit him as well(Hey, I am not a secret)

...OK so long story short...I have just had an amazing weekend (not the first just the latest) being made to feel that I am worth something....not something I am used to. He reckons we have wasted eight months of being apart..but..the way I look at it, in that eight months we became the best of friends and they brought us to where we are today. The passed time and the ups and downs have brought us to the moment we were meant to take the step closer to each other...our friendship is strong and now it is time to give our hearts the freedom to find each other too....

Here's to the future
