A guy who changed me completely
One look at him and I knew I would never ever be
the same again. He stirred in me emotions so raw, it hurt to even tear away my
thoughts. He evoked in me, a love so strong, a love that legends are made of.
When I was with him, nothing else mattered at all—not even my husband. I simply
did not care. I was delirious with joy, mad with happiness. If insanity was
fire, I was happy to burn in it.
The early years with him were the most memorable.
He changed me in ways I never thought possible. I juggled everything around his
schedule, just so I could be with him, his every waking hour. I cooked, I
cleaned and did all my mundane chores during the time he was occupied, so that
anytime he beckoned I could rush to him. Heck, I even stayed
at home, just so I could squeeze in those extra moments with him. I changed my
entire life to suit his.
My husband learnt to slowly accept what he meant to
me. He saw how happy it made me.
It has been fourteen years now and the
relationship has evolved. He is sometimes my best friend, sometimes my worst
critic. He has an opinion on anything I do. There are times when I am so
frustrated that I yell at him and wish he would vanish.
But that is more easily said. He has far too much
power over me.
You see, he is not just the person who changed me completely,he is also my son.
