I had two men once....

elizabeth

one was the man I was living with(and whose life I ruined by marrying him) and the other was my best friend, David. David and I could talk about anything for hours on end. W (I'll call him W since I always misspell Walter)would ask what was so important that we were on the phone so long. Everything I would reply.
David and I worked together and some days he would come into my office and braid half my head and then go to a meeting. Being in the fashion industry - no one really noticed my hair and if they did, they liked it.  I used a hell of a lot of conditioner back then to get those braids out!
David was my soulmate. I don't believe you have to marry one. I just believe you need to recognize yours and be so so grateful for all they bring to your life.
David and I were stand up comics in NYC and were comedy writers for WNBC radio and when I didn't feel like doing Scarlett to his Rhett in a GWTW sketch, he would do both voices. He would talk for me.
W and David were fast friends and I told all the men before W, "Love me, love David." W did in his own way. It was a relief when David called because W could sit and watch TV and not feel like he was ignoring me.
We lost David - it will be 11 years on Thanksgiving. The first thing I thought when I got the call was how thankful I was and still am for my best friend, David. We talked enough for a lifetime and then some.
Walter feels like he is off the hook because David and I talked forever when we thought we had forever.
I would just like David to call once more. I would never let him hang up on me again.
