Ode to the OneEyed Z

A year ago today, I met up with the One Eyed Zeke
He was beyond awesome, and a big bicycle geek.


The week before, he told me he liked my socks
We were wearing the same ones, I said that rocks.


I found him on myspace, I made him my friend
He wrote me an e-mail said I was sexy, THE END!


That isn't the end because we met the next weekend
He was friendly and cool, I wanted to see him again.


We met at O'Dowds on the Plaza on Sunday
He kissed me goodnight, it was great, what a day!


We dated two months, he was patient and kind
He took things slow and for that I was fine (no rhyme, but it's cool right?)


He held me one night when I cried out my confusion
The words he used comforted the delusion.


He started working on triathlons, told me he was no good at dating.
I told him I like him enough to be patient, that it would be worth waiting.


The summer grew long, our roads divided
Our friendship wore thin, our lives were one-sided.


My patience didn't last and led me to end it.
He took it with grace, but I then second-guessed it.


Our friendship was strained, but we found each other again.
He has been too special to me, to let it all end.


The comfort I feel with him has picked up the pace.
But sometimes his antics make me want to punch him in the face! :o)


We can wear on each other's nerves, but does it really matter?
When ice cream is around, it allows us to grow... fatter?


When he drinks too much beer, 
I care for his safety and worry with (some) fear.


He is a great person, being with him is fun
... like a day in the sun!


We have grown back together and he has become a best friend.
I will love him forever, forever til the end. 


I love you Zeke. You mean the world to me and I'm so glad to have you in my life. Had I not met you a year ago, my life would not be as exciting as it is now. You are super special to me!  xoxo forever!
