having loved and lost more then twice in my life, i had begun to give up on love, on people, on the feelings that make us all human, but i guess what they say is true, you always find that purest of love when your not looking for it, and never has this been more the case then with my beloved kristi <3

like a flame, she was there, atractive, funny, talkative, competetive and stubborn lol, it was the last 2 traits that led to our uniting <3 as a joke we bet a pizza on who would win the next fencing bout between us....sadly and yet happily i lost, it was the first time i ever felt happy to lose lol

needless to say i bought the pizza, we talked and laughed together an hour befpre class, flirting often thereafter until eventually, one stormy night, while texting her back and forth i got up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend,
her simple "yes" gave me a brighter smile then ever i could imagine before

thereafter we were able to love each other for who we were <3 we began talking for hours upon hours on skype, texting back and forth, calling eachother, exchanging poems and words of love, it was wonderful, but eventually it became complicated

our feelings were not accepted by her family, particularly her grandmother, im not proud to say it, and yet im not ashamed, and again i am proud in a sense, that we began sneaking around, fighting tooth and nail for our love <3 even now we fight as hard as we possibly can, we both know our love will last, and we plan to spend our lives together <3 we already have plans for a house in Georgia <3

i love her with all my heart and soul, and will continue to do so no matter what her family or mine says about us

fyi, i have never used so many heart signs in my life until i met her =) and im so happy!! lol
