A Secret Love Revealed
Contributed by: Monica Newton on 8/5/2008

I didn't want to fall in love with you. I told you so. I let you know right from the beginning that you weren't getting anywhere close to my heart. You see, I loved another just like you and the loss was great. I cried for weeks, maybe months. I couldn't deal with it again. The walls went up around my heart. "So don't get comfortable," I said.

You wouldn't listen, your kind never does. You think the world revolves around you and you set about your task making me fall for you. Yes, you had me pegged from the beginning, didn't you?

You have my daughter to thank for this. She encouraged this and promised me I wouldn't get hurt. She could see something special in you. I tried to avoid you, pulling up to my door and running into my room and closing the door so you couldn't come in. You took advantage of the close proximity of our quarters and made your presence known to me 24/7. The times my daughter took off for sleepovers, you made sure I knew it was just you and me.

When my sister nearly died last week you cuddled on the bed with me that night as I cried tears of relief and thankfulness. You let me talk to you about how much I love her and how grateful I was to still have her.

You love wrapping yourself up in my arms and your sounds let me know all is right with your world. Your eyes light up when you see me. You come to me and give me sweet little kisses. You're so young, are you fickle? Will you leave me for another? For a more beautiful, much younger woman I know?

My daughter adores you, too, you know. When she returns from her trip will you turn your attention back to her? I don't share but I would gladly give you to her if it makes her happy. Besides, you WERE hers, first, right?

Don't break my heart, Honey, but more importantly, don't break my daughter's.

What's that? You're running low on kitty litter? Okay, come on, I know how you like to ride in the car. Let's go to PETCO.
