I have mentioned my friend Liz a few times recently and i am going to mention her a whole lot more. As I have said, she came to visit on Monday and we talked. A lot. This talk led to me realising that there was more to our relationship than first met the eye. At least the potential for more was there.

Over the past few days we have talked lots about what was said and whether we really meant it. I think things have come to a head now as I think I have fallen in love with her, well as much as you can at such early stages of a relationship. One of the qustions she asked me on Monday was whether I would ever marry her. Normally I do not encourage marriage, my own parents got divorced when I was young and I have never really been enamoured by the whole idea. But, when Liz asked me it didn’t seem like such a ridiculous idea. I actually could see me spending most, if not all, of the rest of my life with her!

Today, she and her boyfriend split up. I think i may have somethign to do with it. I would never have asked her to leave him, thats just not fair, but I am a little bit glad that they did. Although, the whole event has left Liz really upset and I don’t know how to deal with it. I really want to spend as much time as possible with her, I want to see where these feelings will lead. I have got really high hopes for it all. How long do I leave it though? I feel bad diving straight in, but I really do want to be with her.

Liz is coming to Leeds again tomorrow, I can’t wait. I have missed her so much, even though it has been just over 24 hours since I last saw her! That’s how much she means to me. I hope that we will work out, I hope that she will accept me so soon after she has left her boyfriend.

I am really excited at the moment and nobody else is really sharing it with me. I have been burnt before and most people are worried about me jumping in with both feet. I would normally heed their advice and take things cautiously. In this case, however, I think they are wrong. Liz is an amazing person. She makes me smile and laugh and live. I want to live because of her. I owe her my life and so much more. The key thing is, I want to give it to her, I want to share my life with her. I really hope she sees it the same way.

So if you see me in the next few days with a massive, uncharacteristic smile on my face……you know why!
