A Bit of Prose
by
Candi Timmerman
I came "out" a year ago. I've now been with my girlfriend for 9 1/2 months and we're talking about marriage. I wonder how often someone like me gets proposed to? Valentine's Day coming up and all of this bullshitty type commercialized romance floating about me. Makes me want to vomit. She's a light though, she burns me sometimes she's so beautiful. She lets me go and be however I want. I've never had that. Never been with someone who thinks that every mood swing, every quirk, my pink shoes, my never ending sarcasm, my insatiable appetite for feeling is beautiful. It's amazing to me...I don't guess I've ever been loved.
