Sunday 2nd May 2010
I was surfing the net this morning and came across a song we both love - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. It reminded me of when we first met.
I advertised in the Lonely Hearts to find John when I was feeling very lonely. His letter stood out amongst all the rest and I phoned him straight away. We talked several times, sometimes for an hour or more, and eventually we met.
He came to my flat, which I now realise was probably very risky, but I knew as soon as I set eyes on him that he was the one for me. I looked into his twinkling eyes and melted. We went for a lovely country walk and had lunch in a local country town where someone mistook us for husband and wife even though we'd only just met.
That first day was magical and it was over 15 years ago. Since that day we have never been apart for more than a few hours but we never got around to getting married! I still have his letter and I still love his twinkling eyes.
Long may they twinkle my darling.
