The Cowboy’s Question

Against a pink wall at a Mexican restaurant, the cowboy.

The cowboy sent an email to ask me why I wanted him and us so much. Here’s how I answered.

I want you and us because you make me better. You fill in all the gaps in me, as I do in you. We are perfectly complementary. Puzzle pieces. I want you and us because with you I grow and learn. Because you are wise. Because you make my son better. Because you make my world bigger. Because with you I feel safe. Because you make me  think. Because you are an actual man in a world of large boys. Because me, post-you, is way better than me before. Because you are a hardass. Because you smoke cigars and watch westerns. Because you love that filthy old barn cat even though you pretend you don’t. Because I can heal you, and you me. Because I want to grow old with you. Because you are beautiful and I love to show you off. Because you make my heart soar. Because you are a hard worker. Because you think. Because you write beautifully. Because even when you are mad at me….you still love me…and always will…just as I will always love you.

Hope that answered his question.

    So Beautiful Alisa. I hope he liked your answer. He’d be a fool if he didn’t or if that wasn’t enough. <3

    Sounds exactly like what I would have said to mine. I would have added, “because you believe in me, I believe in me”. He definitely helped shape me into who I am. I thank God for him every day. I wish you the same.
