The Joy of Falling to Earth - 9/28/2007 9:39:08 AM

How to begin... Might as well start at the beginning.

My conversation with earthycouple began with us discussing rope materials on a shibari thread here on CM. I'm somewhat a fan of flax/linen fibers while She's a staunch advocate of MFP climbing rope. And it started from there and has just kept going... Hours on end of IMs and a thumbdrive full of emails later, we decided to meet.

She came to Terre Haute and I'll be honest - She stunned and stupefied me into a state of total idiocy. Hard to believe for those that know me via the threads here... but it's true. Me, the cocky and arrogant jack-ass that I am online (Her description), reduced to having to look at a cup of coffee as a prop to keep from shaking like a fool...

Oh, have I told you that I love Her? I love Her more than a reasonably sane person should.

We had been discussing me living in Her home full-time for a good portion of our conversations, and I was planning on moving after tax season (my job in Terre Haute was linked to the IRS calendar). But that was the main obligation I'd not completed - my job was the main reason I was staying behind. There were some changes to that, and I was seeing an opportunity to correct some choices that I'd made that seemed like the right ones at the time in favor of the ones that ARE The Right Ones (period).

It took about an hour to pack what I really needed and put it in Her car. And I haven't looked back since.

I'm Hers. No two ways about it - I am not my own man any longer...

<sigh>

If you are going to tell the story, lovely e01n, tell it right *S* it started when I told you signing your posts "Love Keith" was cheesy.

The rest of the story is spot on... Seeing him a mucky mess of inability to compose a thoughtful sentence clinched it....fuck if I don't love him too.

<maurice chevalier moment> Ah, I remember it well...

And yeah - Donna's right. I went back and edited my first posts from my old "love, Keith" (which was an old BSD reference) to "innocuous closing" and "non-committal statement of well wishing" or some such crap.

I say I love Her now... somehow She doesn't have a problem with it. gofigyah...

All I can say is I wish you both all the happiness you two deserve, a lifetime of learning, teaching and growth with each other and with yourselves. Seeing the chemistry between you two on the forums gives hope to myself and others that we will eventually find our "one." Hugs to you both.

Thank you all so much. To think....BSB wanted him to go for the restaurant!

I've been lucky enough to experience joy and sorrow on so many levels in just this year alone. While I've lost much, I've gained more. Where I was yesterday brings me to where I am today. Nothing, nothing ever happens in vain.

e01n and I have shared so many feelings and thoughts with each other over the last several months. Some not so good and some amazing. There were days when I didn't think I could go another moment with him, yet something pushed me. He said it in the OP....and he's right...I said it first...he's a cocky and arrogant jackass sometimes. Enough so that I've had to step away. I always come back though. I HAVE to come back because it feels so damn good. And, for every moment I've been scared, hiding, or any of the things he could say about me...he always fought for me to come back. He never gave up.

I nearly walked away from him in Terre Haute... I simply couldn't leave knowing I may never have the opportunity to enjoy him in full for the rest of our lives. Leaving without him would only have ended what had yet to start.

He's not rebound, he's not the boytoy of the day, he's not convenient. As a matter of fact, he's most inconvenient if we are speaking to simplicity and ease. I've met online, more than my share of people since July. I've met in person many since then. I've enjoyed one or two on a personal level...all the while saying this is fine for now...but what I really want is e01n. I want to make this work on every level possible. I know he wants this to work just the same.

*sigh*

I wait with much anticipation for life to unfold before us. Together we grow each day, from online conversations to phone calls to a face to face meeting that left him unable to speak and me unable to wipe a smile from my face. For every moment I thought meeting him was the best thing to do, I thought twice over it was going to fail. Here we are. I will remain sometimes cautious because hurting sucks and I'm tired of that. I will also remain solid in knowing he feels what I feel.

Thank you for your warm thoughts and being a part of this journey. I love you Keith...all of you.

Yeah, I admit I did. Chalk it up to cynacism I guess. I'm so glad I was wrong!

Or, as both I and *** (the Him in question) both say it: I could be wrong - I frequently am...

It's a mantra for me. He just says it regularly.

If I may say so, Donna has great taste in men...

Well BSB, I suppose I better 'fess up and yea I too wanted him to go for the restaurant. Though not realizing the woman he was talking about was Donna! Maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut and slowly fade away like a cherished picture that aperson never seems to get around to dust off and display for all to admire!
