Aussie Love

Such warm, warm sweetness is Mike's entry on Brenton's blog today. Mike & Brenton, forgive me for reproducing some of the words here without having asked. I feel the need to live the moment a little bit. I sincerely wish you the best, no matter what life has in store for the both of you down the road.

"For some strange reason it felt as if we had been together for ages. Everything has seemed so natural, and has come very easy. Even today at the Blue Mountains when we were walking up and down vertical cliff faces and I was watching Brenton nearly slide down the mountain on his backside, it seemed as if I had known him for years and actually expected him to take the quick (and painful) way down."

"It isn't easy meeting someone from halfway around the world and finding out that they have all the makings of Mr. Right. Sometimes the fairy tale doesn't always have a happy ending and that's what we are both scared of."

"For two people who have only known each other for a short time and in a limited fashion, we have become very comfortable talking to each other about things that most people never get to know."

"Over lunch yesterday we broached the subject of moving to another city to make this work. It's not something that either of us are taking lightly."

"However, no matter how realistic I am, or how fatalistic Brenton can be, it has been very difficult to look into his sexy blue eyes and not dream about this lasting forever."

"Dear Sydney boys:
I'd like to thank you for being too wrapped up with your own lives to get to know someone special. I'd like to share my gratitude for your unwillingness to find out that you've known a person who is both caring and thoughtful. For never picking up on his incredible sense of humor or getting to know his ability to make you laugh despite how you are feeling, I am in your debt."
