"Babe, I can't take this shit anymore!" He exclaimed over the phone. "I'm taking my son and getting the fuck out of here!"
"But Jeremy, where will you go? You and I both know that my parents won't accept us."
"Babe, I've known hunger; I know what it's like to sleep on the bare floor; I know how it feels to be abandoned by my own family. I'm gonna have to make something work for our sake babe; cuz I'm tired and life's just slipping out of my grasp......"
----------
The hurt he's harbored for so long, has him shackled to a boat destined to misery. His scars he's worn proudly after being whipped brutally by circumstance. The love that still ruptures within him, enchants me. I love him, I indeed love him!
Our relationship is conventional by no means. We come from two worlds, two eras, two cultures yet on meeting, our spirits were in perfect symmetry with eachother's differences reflected instantly, along that mirror line. He's volatile, I'm docile, he's outspoken yet I'm demure. His beauty he calls average, but it's that beauty which he posses in his imperfection, that draws me in. Have I already found true love?
He doesn't see in himself what I see in him. He thinks he's weak because living day to day is hard, but I see resilience. The beautiful bond and values that he shares with his son, make me dream of a future family with him one day. Am I getting ahead of myself?
----------
"I feel so wrong falling for someone so young." He uttered while I stroked his head on my lap.
"Babe I'll be eighteen in a few months, so my age really doesn't matter. Please Jeremy, don't make that an issue between us!"
"Baby boy, are you sure you're ready for something like this, someone like me?"
"Yes!...."
----------
Yes I'm ten years his junior but age doesn't matter to me. I'm more mature than my seventeen years suggest. My heart constantly steers me towards him; never have I felt the way I'm feeling now, never before have I been in love.
I'm willing to see where this goes; I'm willing to take the chance of a lifetime just to be with him. What lays ahead? We don't know, but what's certain is that our journey with eachother has officially begun.....
