Pain is So Close To Pleasure or Freddie Mercury knew what he was singing about...

 I do think that Freddie Mercury said it best

When he sang the song “One Year of Love”

Especially about “Pain being so close to Pleasure”

That is not to say things were a train wreck or disaster.

In fact they were a lot better than I had imagined.

Even though that moment at the bar had ended

There were many more wonderful moments to come.

A couple of days passed since we said good-bye.

However, I decided to take another chance

And ask you to be my girlfriend; I was surprised when you said yes.

Things also changed for me with my job.

I decided that it was time to stop being a nomad and be closer to home

That way I could get as much time as I could with you.

Eventually you came over and met my friends

Who honestly thought you were a delusion from me being on the road.

Thank God that changed the moment you walked into that door.

Things started slow and I was grateful for that.

I didn’t want things to skyrocket so fast.

But, when we all decided to play a game of “I Have Never”

I could not believe how fast I blushed….

…When you revealed some things about you.

Secretly, I was smiling to myself. Here was someone a lot like me.

I just hid it better than most.

Actually, that was a lie…I repressed it for at least eight years.

As we continued to get to know each other, I realized one thing…

I was beginning to fall in love with you. But this was so different.

I was afraid of it but at the same time I wanted to surrender to it.

And I could tell that you were feeling the same way I was.

Or at least we were both trying to hide it at first.

The closer we got…the more feelings started to come to the surface.

Eventually we decided to take the next step.

Now I will never forget that night even if I wanted to.

It was our first night alone, away from everyone just the two of us.

Instead of it being a very romantic night, it felt like a weird 80’s comedy.

Not that I didn’t love it, but it was one thing after another.

Driving around place to place trying to get something for you

The only thing that was missing was the laugh track.

But I still had fun with you and that was the most important thing.

That when you and I spend the 4th of July together.

I didn’t need any fireworks since you were more than enough.

Even now as I think about those moments with you.

I can’t help but take a moment and lose myself for a little while

Getting lost in the details and the emotions when we were one.

The taste of your lips, the look in your eyes when you looked into mine.

No matter if it was a brief moment or it lasted for an eternity.
I just knew that I was yours and only yours and that you were mine.

Every moment I spent with you was precious and irreplaceable.

From taking a moment to go to the arcade to shoot zombies

Or taking a drive out to Long Beach to go aboard the Queen Mary.

I don’t know if was just the fact we were having fun or being with you.

I just knew that I didn’t want it to end.

You even brought out more of my geeky side

Especially with the Christmas Present that I got you.

I still laugh when you told your sisters what it was.

But that is not to say that we didn’t have our moments.

There were times it got a little rough, but it’s how we get through them

That only makes the sweet even sweeter.

Unfortunately, there were times that just made it even worse.

Especially when you told me that the Adonis had returned.

At first I thought he was just some guy who was begging to have you back.

But the more I heard, the more I got concerned.

The way you talked about what he tried to do to you

Makes Alex Forrest look tame in comparison.

Every moment with him sounded like something from a thriller.

That was when I started to get worried.

You told me you could handle it, but he started getting worse.

I remember the calls at night from work about him coming over.

It got so bad that I even had to take days off to protect you.

The funny thing was, that I did not mind.

I don’t know if I was totally brave or completely stupid.

I just wanted to make sure you were safe and sound.

People will do anything when it comes to love.

They will even put themselves at risk for their significant other.

Lord knows I was ready to do that for you.

Especially when I saw a video of him.

My God!!! The Gods must have been crazy if he was a threat.

But then what did one expect when dealing with a fool.
They may be stupid, but they could also be the most dangerous.

But there was damage from his encounters.

If his rhetoric was a sign of trouble

Then it was time to batten down the hatches

For a storm was on the horizon.

One that even the longest journeys couldn’t prepare you for.
