Amanda

And the Coup de grâce. 


It's my girlfriend's birthday today so I figured since I ran out of failures, I would go ahead and talk about the best relationship I have ever been in.

It's been almost a year now and I am loving every second of it. This relationship has been a blessing and it was much more then I could ever wish for. Amanda is the one is have been waiting on for so long.

I met Amanda when she was the tender age of 19. I was freshly 26 year old and the idea of dating another young girl were far from my thoughts. But there was was, she was so beautiful. I knew she was special, and I acted on my gut feeling.

We met, we became friends. She dismissed the notion of us becoming a couple off the bat at first. She was already in a relationship and I could tell she was one of those girls who was not going to do anything to ruin that bond, that was something I loved very much about her. I was very glad she never did anything with me while she was still with her old boyfriend because that would have changed how I thought of her. Think about it, if she was wiling to cheat on her ex, she could be convinced to cheat one me, but she did not cheat on anyone and my mind was put at ease.

Her other relationship was doomed the day she met me. It lasted for about 4 months before she finally ended it with him. I waited patiently. I knew my time was coming, our time was coming.

Amanda came from a mixed family. Her mom was white and her dad was black. That left her with a light tan complexion, darker then my own. It gave her a very natural beauty that I mistook for hispanic origins at first. She also hardly wears makeup. I know most girls rely on that kind of stuff, but Amanda has no need for that because she is naturally beautiful as I specified earlier.

She is just like me. It makes us the perfect couple. She is a little naive and supremely stubborn. She is super shy and enjoys being a loner. These are all traits I share with her or used to have in common with her. The world is a confusing mess of colors and situations I am just unfamiliar with. I am a pretty naive person myself, so I can appreciate someone who shares that naivety. I am also a very hard headed person. I used to be shy, and t an extent I still am, but she is much more timid then I am. It took a couple years for me to break out of my shell, I'm sure she can do the same. The loner title just means her and I can enjoy the simple company of solitude and not freak out about it. I enjoy that quality, it means we don't suffocate each other which is a good thing.

Amanda also likes playing video games, watching anime, and reading manga. I wish I could get her more involved actual books, but oh well! The one thing I can't seem to get her into is sports. Personally I am in love with most sports and I am deeply involved in the local sports, but Amanda could care less. It's a darn shame too because if she could only open up and embrace sports like I do, we could get along much better. We could go to games together or sit at home and watch a game casually. I doubt that ever happens though.

So...we met each other at Home Depot. My last attempt at a relationship had ended during my trip to Tallahassee and I was plain ticked at the female species in general. When I laid eyes on Amanda, my dislike for women vanished and I was smitten.

She is a kindred spirit. She is my significant other, my thought provoker, my positive inspiration, my movie date, my music regulator, my massage therapist, my play date, my playmate, my dance counterpart, my confidante, my co-conspirator, my eating colleague, my companion, my chore helper, my sidekick, my all, my pen pal, my texting buddy, my doubt disolver, my player two, my reassurance, my true love, my soul mate, my beloved, my life partner, my best friend...

My everything.
