Sharing Our Lives:
 Fate
 by Anonymous

Submitted June 2001

It was May 1993..In a small town in New Jersey......
I met "My Soulmate" through my husband ! She was the wife-to-be of
his newly made friend. We were apprehensive at our first meeting.
Then, we met again at my home on another visit pushed by our mates.
We managed to make small talk and we found out through conversation,
we were so much alike. Before long we were laughing, crying and gazing
at one another. I took her hand . We went into the kitchen, time just
stopped. It was like we've known each other forever. I couldn't get her
off of my mind. The feel of her hand, the shape of her lips , the sound
of her voice. We swapped numbers and we began to talk numerous times
per day. It became apparent to me I was falling in LOVE with this woman.
Not, knowing the same thing was happening to her ! Everyone who knew us
thought we were attached at the hips. We became inseparatible.We began
working together,any and all of our free time..we were together. Nothing
in my life came that easily to me nor to her. Even our upbringing was
simular.How could something so right be so wrong?

Yet, we felt guilty for the feeling we had developed. It was her first time
in a relationship with a woman. I had several relationships and proclaimed
myself Bi-Sexual. This was so different even to me. The "Love" was so
deep we couldn't bare being apart from each other. (We lived 10 minutes apart.)
Fear made me push her away .My excuse was for her to be sure this was the
lifestyle for her . I tried to stop the natural progression of the relationship.
Then the torment started....we lost touch. Then the eternal battles had begun.
After our children,divorces, hard times and distance . Time just seemed to be
our enemy . :( I still kept her in my heart. Later, she told me about several
relationships she had after me and yet, she wasn't "HAPPY". They weren't the
same for her. She still "LOVED" me. Through mutual friends we had made and
my parents, we started asking around for each other. Thank God for my mother
who kept us in her heart. Always mentioning our names to one another and our where abouts.
Eventually,I found her. I was in Jersey ..She was in Philly. A phone call here,
an address there...Finally , I pursued "LOVE and HAPPINESS" full force....

Three Years later...We manage to profess our love for one another and we
now have been married/committed for 4 years. Raising our children's children!
:) Living as Husband and Wife! Always..remembering and praising God and my
mother for helping us realize ..True Love never dies and If you claim it
and name it you can have it all !!
