Questions from the Platitude Platypus
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
Used to being alone for so many years
Developed a serious case of lone wolf syndrome as a result
Surprised with functioning as part of the perfectly realistic bowling pair
Making each other laugh and enjoying a good cuddle every now and again
Managed to make it to a year and a half without any tabloid scandals
Consider that a major victory of epic proportions
Because a lot of relationships seemed based on extreme dramatic sports
Throwing glasses and plates at their partner's head for effect
Just a waste of good housewares instead of an emotional point
Many ask about how we've managed to function this long without a fight
Best way to explain that we're very much alike in temperament
And are fortunate enough to rationalize how we feel at that time
Without throwing any type of tantrums
Anxiety occasionally seeps into subconscious at worst moments
Making me question whether this was real or an optical illusion
Sometimes it's hard to believe any good fortune
Could be bestowed on someone so meek and awkward
Any form of praise or accolades feel completely foreign
Almost like a form of an alien language of sorts
Used to being yelled at and belittled by everyone
Hard to see that people see this dork as someone worthy of it
Found a partner who appeared to be on a similar wavelength
The same radio frequency where the black sheeps go to hang out
Met a man who was strong and sensitive in equal measures
Loved that he was in touch with his passions and feelings
Made it a nice balance to be with the counterpart to me
A person who suppressed their thoughts and vulnerabilities for so long
Buried them under dried molten lava and caked on deformed earth
He brought out my feminine wiles and self confidence
To the point where it excited and terrified me all at once
Made me realize that it was okay to be happy and a little scared at the same time
Longest successful relationship I've ever had
Proving that lack of experience and intuition go hand in hand
Ready to embrace good fortunes and not have to be obsessive over it
Living in the moment and not have to keep bestowing banal clichés
Just to make sure the night before wasn't part of my overactive imagination
Looking forward to each weekend to see him for the night
Just wish I could make it last longer
Oh well, have to take what I can get.
