Long ago in year 2000 I was introduced to a young man. We met at
Starbucks for coffee. To this day I remember whatwe wore. He was
wearing a ski jacket and blue jeans and I was wearing a pleather
jacket with a well fitted grey sweater and black jeans. My friends
would always teased me at work when I wore the sweater and ask me if I
was going on a date, they called it the date sweater. The date didn't
work out and soon after Imoved to a new city for ajob promotion. Years
passed and during that time I received another job promotion in
anothercity. One day I decided to return home. I told my parents I was
interested in meeting someone and if they knew of anyone they should
let me know. My parents told everyonethey knew and my aunt knew of
someone. We met and after a brief conversation we decided to get
married. We were engaged for a year and separated within a year of
marriage. During our separation I moved across the country to get
away. I spent a lot of time reflecting back on life, trying to
understand why life was going the way it was. It was then that I
realized the man I had married was the manI had met for coffee in year
2000. We met in year 2000 and went our separate ways. In 2005 we met
again and got married and as life wouldhave it, I'm sure we'll be
meeting again and this time we'll be having a child and purchasing a
home. We can't live with each other and we can't live without each
other. All we have is each other.
