My love affair with (him) had a wonderful element of romance to it, which I will always cherish. But it was not an infatuation, and heres how I can tell: because I did not demand that he become my Great Emancipator or my Source of All Life, nor did I immediately vanish into that mans chest cavity like a twisted, unrecognizable, parasitical homonculus. During our long period of courtship, I remained intact within my own personality, and I allowed myself to meet (him) for who he was.
