Anniversary (A Special Writing)
-
I opened my eyes to a dark room, my...correction, our room. My head turned to face the little calendar on my nightstand just to remind myself that it was true. May 12th. Two years now. I allowed a long breath to exit my lungs as I shifted over to my left to see Nightmare Rarity, still asleep. It was rare that I was awake before her but today was a special occasion, as today marked two years since we'd entered our relationship. Had it really been two years? Only that? It always amazed me how things could change yet it felt like not much time had passed, but in all actuality a lot of time had gone by. So much had changed in us, and our lives.
I was happy.
Ironic, go back a few years and I would have adamantly believed I would never be happy, nor would I ever think I'd be in love, much less in a relationship. It was so beautiful surreal.
"I truly am happy. And a lucky man."
I wasn't perfect, sure, but I was happier than I'd ever been in the entirety of my life. I knew she was too. Her beautiful face bore a content expression every time she slept, a strand of her lovely mane hung in her face, which I gently brushed aside with a finger. Feeling its familiar softness, and the sensation of love flowed through my veins like heavenly water. My heaven was right next to me, she had been for two years now. I felt like she was always meant to be there, and all was right in my soul.
I moved closer to her, laying a hand tenderly on her cheek, the fur meeting my skin. Those familiar blue eyes opened in response, a soft smile greeting me.
"You're up early, my dear."
"Yeah...I guess I'm excited."
Nightmare Rarity chuckled, giving me a quick kiss. "So I'm not the only one then?"
I laughed quietly along with her, stroking her mane came instinctively to me now, reflexive as breathing. Her forelegs slid over my shoulders as we kissed again. I felt the sensation of floating once more, my heart fluttering in my chest as darkness bathed us in our kiss.
"Happy anniversary Nightmare," I said, those words having been perched on my tongue the moment my eyes opened, words I'd wanted to speak for so long.
"And here's to our future, Michael."
I didn't know where our future would lead, but with her, it'd be a future I was eager to share. With her I knew happiness the likes of which I felt I could never put into words, a love so powerful and indescribable, unique to only us. She completed my soul. She gave me a new life, a new path, and one that I would never walk alone. We may not know our future, but I know she is with me every step of the way.
-
It is...remarkably surreal. The love I feel towards him, happily surreal. When he'd first approached me two years ago I was surprised more than anything else. He was bold, the sheer audacity. He risked a great deal when he became my suitor. It was admirable, dare I say incredible. We were two entirely different beings and I wasn't even aware of his existence until he revealed himself. Few could be that brave.
Truthfully it's become one of my favorite qualities of his. I've been alive a very long time and he's the strongest person I've ever known. He's changed me as much as I've changed him. He is my companion every bit as much as I am his.
I wake up to him everyday and fall asleep beside him every night. Never did I think that would happen in my life, previously I never cared if it did. Now I can't imagine it any other way. These last two years have been nothing short of extraordinary. Now we find ourselves looking to the future with each other as our own constants. It is a journey we undertake together, through joy and darkness all the same.
It is a thing of true and exquisite beauty to create such powerful feelings in another and to feel them within yourself. I took a big chance when I entered into a relationship with him just as he did with me. And I don't regret it.
We have given each other the most treasured of things and I couldn't be more grateful to Michael. Forevermore.
Happy anniversary, my love.
