Someone to Watch Over Me
I have known my best friend for almost 12 years now. Joseph likes to say "I knew at 13 years old I wanted to marry you." Now, I didn't always believe this and I don't know if all boys know what they want at that age, but he did, and he worked hard to get me too! Although we "grew up" together and attended high school together, I wouldn't say we were high school sweethearts. I didn't give him the time of day, but his perseverance and his love for me stole my heart.
I often think of the song "Someone to Watch Over Me" by Gershwin. This song reminds me of our relationship. Often times we are away from each other because of the careers we have chosen in the arts. I always long to see him and try hard to be the best Britannia I can be so that I can continue to be by his side. "I know I could always be good to one who'll watch over me." "Real Love" (as this blog is titled) calls for us to find someone to watch over.
July 31st will be our 3rd Anniversary, we are still young newlyweds, but it feels like I have known him forever. Every day gets better and better with him. I couldn't ask for a better friend, lover, and
husband. I believe that we are happy in our relationship at this moment because we do everything together, have the best in mind for each other and because we pull our load side by side.
Everytime I see my husband it puts a smile on my face and everytime he touches me I get butterflys. After a long day of music, theatre, and work we like to wind down by watching 11:00pm Seinfeld
with a glass of milk, and then make our way to the bedroom... to sleep.
