We seem together now

Before we met the period between first date and sell-by date grew ever shorter. Then we met. She had a clean way of speaking, nicking and clipping her consonants, and I loved her for it. On our first date our lips met, a claim she would later deny, but to this day I remember it happened. We had a rough ride. Choppy seas. A friend once told me, she'll come around. And she did. I was forever grateful. A friend once told me, the fairy tale romance is all about the ending. And it was. A fairy tale that's all in the telling.
