My person

I found him, my person. He was fun and clever and open to humour my endless curiosities. He quietened my inner voice - that one who forever tells us we aren’t worthy - and I finally felt present and secure. We talked for ages and felt as if we’d known each other forever. Our first meeting was like a comedy of errors but we laughed the whole 12 miles of the 5 mile walk. He said he’d never felt like this. We met a handful of times - I loved having sex with him. It felt so... right. But he overthought it - couldn’t get past that I had children. Now he’s just another stranger.
