engaged
the past few days have been a euphoria. Saturday (technically Sunday), I proposed marriage to elli. she said yes. I do not really know if I can put into words everything I feel for her but I'll give it a try.
for those who do not know it so I was touched and elli almost exactly six months ago, that is, in Sormat. we met online and sat and chatted one night when I came up with the idea that we would now meet right away. at 4:30 we met outside the cathedral in Lund and continued talking. elli have described our first meeting that it was like we already knew each other - we just found each other again. it was just the way I felt. months before I met elli I had been pretty down there, met some people but could not muster any more interest for anyone. elli challenged me and listened in a way that I never experienced before. she was genuinely interested in what I had to say and I was equally interested in what she in turn had to tell. since then we have spent time almost every day and we must never run out of things to talk about.
about a month ago, something new to develop. I knew very early in our relationship that I loved her like I never loved someone else and suddenly it was there word on the "b" is not particularly dangerous anymore. when I'm with elli I'm home. we can sit quietly in a sofa (even if silence is a rare ingredient when we are together) and only experience peace together. we share values, interests and share the same vision of the world. the question is not if I were free, it was if I could escape to do so. I love you, elli. Leonard Cohen said it best: "to love your body, your spirit and your soul."
