love at first sight

It exists
I met the man I am going to marry: Chris Colliton
I met him on July 14th, 2007 on a canoe/camping trip on the Saco River
After canoing all day I passed out for two hours
I woke up freezing and still drunk and stood by the fire
He was there
We started talking
We had everything in common
MUSIC – Bela Fleck, TOOL, Nirvana, Bonnaroo, The Roots, The Flaming Lips, etc..
He said something amazing and I said
“I love you do you have a girlfriend do you wanna go out on a date?”
He said no and then he said yes
We talked for hours
I sat on his lap
I asked him if he would marry me and he said yes
We became “camping married”
I warned him that I usually scare guys off
He wasn’t scared
I went to a tiny tent with my new husband
We lied on his tiny tent mat
He held me and said “mmmm, wife”
We kissed each other with our eyes open, smiling
We melted into one another and sighed at the same time
Morning
Uncommunicated agreement
I went into his canoe with him, he paddled
I drank rum and steel reserve
We both smiled like things were sacred
We weren’t fooling anyone
Everyone said things like ‘isn’t she a lesbian?’
What little people know about the heart
