I wrote this to Vanessa in November 2015. Our first 'outing' together was September 2nd, a meal at the Vasai in Malvern Link. My first communication with Vanessa was an e-mail. The last line was: “It goes without saying you and I are on the same wavelength.” I'm not in Ali Oxtoby's league when it comes to poetry, but I like this. Hope you do too. And what did I mean back there by that? Not what you took it to mean? Exactly what you took it to mean “Don't hesitate to ask for help or company when you need it.” Was invisible. I can believe what I want to believe. I want to believe we are together for life I now know, but can’t [yet] believe it… It’s sinking in slowly. Being immersed in divine love, feeling like the tea bag that goes on to score 10 (Vanessa loves tea) That never runs out, making the perfect cup in perpetuity Humour divine Your essence mine Flashing eyes Instant replies The perfect match The perfect catch This Gemini female makes me feel the luckiest man alive. I am the luckiest man alive. I always knew.
