Dont let me fall - Charlie

The past 8 months have been the most contented months of my entire life.  Even with the upheavals of moving into a place i can't yet call my own, and despite the roller coaster of emotions due to the last diagnosis, which was absolutely without a doubt a miracle in itself, and even though i was shoved into unemployment status, suddenly, after a diagnosis of cancer, (I guess the boss felt i needed an extra dose of harmful stress)  and despite the unnerving political outcome of having that arrogant ass of a man begin a second term of presidency,  I have totally been floating on cloud nine.  I can honestly say i owe that elation to God of course, and also.. to Charlie.  my sweet Charlie.  Every day i wake up next to him, smiling.  every night i contentedly fall asleep snuggled close with him, even though he is teetering with one bun on the edge of the King sized bed, putting much effort into having some space to himself.  That sweet man says nothing, even as i clamorously snore in blissful slumber.  Every woman deserves such a man.  Well, Okay, not EVERY woman, hell...I'm not sure i deserve a man like him!  Non the less, here i am.   Enjoying what many women crave.  Charlie told me once that he was like no other.  He has proven himself.  Well done Charlie, Well done!
Now to be completely honest, it's no Heaven here!  We have our moments, and he can produce an urge in me to slam my head against  a wall..sometimes, however i refrain, and instead i wind up looking as if i belong in the exorcist movie.  It's quite possible my head has even swiveled on occasion.  He's quite skilled at perceiving that i may be on edge.  you know, after i have become  a raging lunatic, but hey..progress...our relationship is just getting started.  In all fairness, I AM a raging lunatic due to pre-menopause, well that's my story anyway, and i'm sticking to it!
In all seriousness Charlie and I are completely compatible!  He is truly my other half.  He keeps me balanced and sane.  we exist together in total harmony.  We compliment each other like chocolate and peanut butter, or cookie dough and ice cream.  it so figures i would use food as an example.  but it works.
We have fun together, we laugh together, we wrestle, we play, we love,  and our minds share the same gutter.  total compatibility! 
Every one knows the story by now, Charlie and i dated for a short time in high school.  that is until i gave my virginity to him.  I dont truly know wht happened, except i told him off one time for not keeping in touch after one day, and tht was it.  He was gone from my life.  But never from my heart.  I say that with all the sincerity i can muster.  For the next 10 years, not a day went by that i didn't think of him.  I had fallen so hard for him, and he broke my heart.  I was literally  looking for him for the next 35 years, but i didnt know it,  not until i found myself still looking for him as i drove through Estacada, wondering if i would see him, when in reality, he was sitting in the car with me.  I hadnt realized i had become brandy, that crazy woman looking for her sailor.  you know the song...  ok, anyway.  yes, it was a life long pattern and had become second nature to look for a man who never gave me  second thought, until the day i friended him on face book.  yes, thanks to face book, friended has become a "real" word~ the dictionary hasn't caught on yet.  And thanks to face book, Charlie and I are once again together, and very much in love.  :)  He really does make me happy.
