This is not exactly a poem or fanfic, but it is dear to me.
The first time I met my fiancé, Thomas, It was over what we called “RP”, that is, role playing. It was a sunny June afternoon, and I had just finished my work for my senior project, and decided to go onto arwen-undomiel.com. Now, I was what you called an ‘Oldie’, considering that I had been going there for over three years. As I looked at the tag-board, I saw a character called ‘Beleg Megil’, meaning ‘Brave Swordsman’ in Lord of the Rings elvish(Yes, it is written as it’s spelled). I started to talk to him. It was to be the beginning of something wonderful.
Later on that week, after I had finished my senior project, I added ‘Beleg’ onto my MSN Messenger list, and we talked about things we had in common, games we liked, etc. What I didn’t know yet, was that I was starting to get feelings for him. I had not been with someone for five years, due to my last boyfriend cheating on me, so this was relatively nice. On June 20th though, my life would take a turn for the better. He finally confessed his feelings for me, and I confessed mine for him. This would prove to be the beginning of our relationship.
We decided to wait for a month to see what would happen. As that month passed, however, I fell more and more in love with him, not caring that he lived in Belgium. ‘Love is love’, I thought, the thought of distance did not bother me, but when I told my mother, she hit the roof, which I expected. My stepfather, Keith, was all out for it. He told me, “If you love him and he loves you, I have no problems with it”, but my mother would not have any of it. She tried everything under the sun to get me to forget Thomas, even taking the internet away so I couldn’t speak to him. It didn’t work at all. Our love only grew stronger and stronger because of it.
As the weeks flew by, I had talked to his mother and his stepfather, Luc. They seemed like nice people, and as a result, I grew closer to Thomas. His family was way better than mine could ever be. At least, that’s what I thought. I learned that Thomas’ parents were divorced for reasons I will not divulge here, but they were the same reasons for my own parent’s divorce. It only fueled the fire that was already raging in my heart.
Around August 20th, we finally realized that we were now, an actual couple, and we announced it to everyone on the site that I had made, due to a problem with arwen-undomiel.com’s tag-board. We had our ups and downs, but we always talked about it and never once broke up. We were hailed by our friends as the ‘perfect couple’, and whenever we saw our friends on my site they would all be happy, which in turn, made us happy that we were so graciously accepted as a couple.
In September, I realized that I had to get ready for college. I tried to hold it off for as long as possible, but on September 20th, our third month together, my mother did something that devastated me. She sat me down and explained that she was taking the internet away for a month. I cried and cried as I wrote a three page e-mail to Thomas stating the situation. My mother could swear that you could have filled at least four glasses with my tears. What she didn’t know, was that I could talk to him anywhere using MSN Web messenger. So I laughed at her secretly, because you cannot take the internet away, it’s all around us.
Last Tuesday, 10/10/06, was the countdown to our fourth month together. We now have eight days until our anniversary. I am still as much in love with him as I was when I first met him. I plan on visiting him in December, after finals week, and maybe I might stay forever. We are planning on getting married, so I may not come back to this valley for a very long time. I look forward to being with the one I love and for once in my life, being happy. Life is funny, and it works in strange ways, but I like what I feel, and that is a good feeling indeed.
Enjoy!
