The Two Lasting Candles

Okay so before you read this and get any ideas I want to set this straight. This isn't some dumb made up gushy fake romance blog! It's completely really and every single thing that you will read is things that have happened! So here it goes... So over a year ago I met Logan at our friend, Tim, bonfire. Well lets just say that time in my life wasn't so hot! Very confusing and I didn't have anyone to turn to very much. That night I didn't know it but I met the person that would forever change my life! That was Logan. From that night on we talked pretty much nonstop! Neither of us probably really knew it but he became pretty much my best friend! He was so understanding and willing to listen to me and he did so without judging me a single bit! All he did was be there for me and help me through whatever it was. Well on October 4th,2007 we had come up with this master plan! We were going to fool everyone in out school into believe that we were a couple when really we were just pulling a HUGE joke on everyone! Well we figured that we would tell everyone the coming Monday at school that it was a straight our joke. Well to our surprise things changed over that weekend. We had hung out to make our "master" joke more believable when really we just started to fall for each other.

Well over that weekend we both couldn't fight it anymore. We both gave in! This master joke had turned into something really. At that moment in time I don't think we really thought it would turn into what it is now. We have probably gone through everything there is really. We have faced and conquered everything from me almost having to move across the country to nasty rumors being spread about us. Yet you would think that would just tare us apart the second we hear and/or found those things out but they didn't. Not even a tiny bit. What it did was make us stronger than ever.

I can't tell you how shocked and happy I am to be able to say this but on October 4th, 2008 was mine and Logan's year. It had been a year since our "master plan" had come in affect. That night I had something special planned for us. He didn't know what it was at all. Well that night I had got a huge pile of leaves for us to lay in and watch the stars and around those leaves were lights twirled around it! On the bricks next to that were candles I had set up! Well to my luck it was windy and they wouldn't stay lit at all. I finally gave up and decided that whatever stays lit stays lit and I wouldn't light anymore. Well Logan had arrived to my house and I led him to our spot! He was very shocked and happy! The night was perfect for laying there and watching the stars! Randomly we both looked at the candles and there was only 2 still lit. Out of the 12 I had lit there were 2 right next to each other lit. Even through the gusts of wind they wouldn't go out no matter how hard it blew. We both laughed at the same time. Logan and I were thinking the same thing. Yes, this may be corny but to us those candles has represented us and our relationship. No matter what came our way we were still there for one another. We would not be blown out for anything. We were "The Two Lasting Candles" and nothing will change that.

That's my true story (well at least the begging of it. It'll be a very long time til the last page has been written.)
