First comes love

Well, I would have to say that love came first, but it took some time to really make its apprerance. Poncho and I met at JFK in Febuary of 2002. He was currently seeing someone, I wasn't. We didn't see each other for some time.

We met again that May because a friend we shared came to New York and brought us together again. He was still dating that someone, I wasn't dating anyone. I became friends with his sister. I started dating someone... that ended. We kept seeing each other, he kept dating the same person.

And then one day... BOOM, I realized I loved him. He was, as my friend Adrianna reminds me, "my heart". So, I got the guts and told him. Of course, he kind of misunderstood and told me no. Which crushed me! So, I stared dating someone and refused to take his calls. He finally ended his long relationship. Called one more time... and I called back. This was December of 2003. In January of 2004, we started dating and have been together, close and IN LOVE since.
