HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BUTTMUNCH!!! WOOHOO, 4 YEARS AND WE'RE STILL NOT SICK OF EACH OTHER!!!
I remember it all oh, so well. On this day, four years ago, I met Salvador for the very first time. My girls and I had just got out of school and we were all waiting for the bus. A few of our guy friends were waiting for the bus as well, and I knew all the guys except for Salvador--and I guess that's why I noticed him so quickly. So my buddies introduced me to him--"Marilyn, this is Salvador...Salvador, this is Marilyn." 
After that, my girlfriends asked me if I wanted to go to the little corner store across the street from the bus stop. I said yes, and so I went. I got myself some hot cocoa because it was so cold outside waiting for that bus...but shortly after I crossed the street, I spilled it!  I guess Salvador over heard me whining about how I wanted another cup of hot cocoa but I was just too lazy to go back, cuz after a few minutes I felt someone tap my shoulder and it was him, smiling at me, with a fresh new cup of hot cocoa!  All he said was, "Here you go." I smiled back at him...kinda couldn't believe it...and in my head I was thinking, 'whatta sucka! whatta cornball!...I think I like him!' 
You know the rest is history!
The day we actually hooked up was January 14th, but we both didn't want our first month anniversary to fall on Valentine's Day. Why? Because we're weird. Because we both wanted to feel like it was our day--not everybody else's...not some crappy-ass, hallmark holiday! So we changed it! We decided to make our anniversary fall on the first day we met...it's significant enough to remember...it wasn't like we raffled our anniversary date! Plus, and I know this is gonna sound really corny, he knew he wanted to be with me the first day we met, and I knew I wanted to be with him.
And so here we are... Now I'm not saying what we have is all pretty and perfect and fine and dandy--HA! We're soooo far from that! But it's okay, cuz what we have is ours and we're happy with what we have. We've had our share of bad times...dark times...and just like every other couple out there, we've taken "breaks" and we've tried to "just be friends" and we've tried to see what life would be like without the other. And it sucks.  We've had people put down our relationship...we've had people tell us that we're not going to last...we've had people do everything that they possibly could to break us apart...and all they really did was make our love for each other stronger.
And now I must say that with all the bullshit that has come our way (thanks to one another), I'm in disbelief that we haven't tried to strangle each other...hehehe, I guess we really are in love! So here are the lyrics to a song that pretty much sums everything up...*LOVE U, MY LITTLE PIRANHA!!! LoL!!* 
Be Without You
(Mary J. Blige)
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can't see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
It's so true that (yes)
We've been through it (yes)
We got real sh*t (yes)
See baby we been...
Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby
I got a question for ya--see already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you, would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin' behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
I'll be faithful (yes)
I'm for real (yes)
And with us you'll always know the deal
We've been...
Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby
See this is real talk
I'ma always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day, everyday)
Now if you're down on love or don't believe
This ain't for you
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that it's true
Well, let me see you put your hands up
Fellas, tell your lady she's the one
Ladies, let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
We've been...
Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you |
