Almost four years ago, I fell in love for the first time--twenty-five years too late--and began an affair. Over the years, Kevin and I have met several times a week and email several times a day. I have kept almost all of the emails that I sent to him and that he sent to me. Along the way, there has been laughter and tenderness and heat...and heartache.

This blog is the posting of our daily emails. It chronicles the lives of two people over a four year period so far, and tells the story of our burgeoning love against the backdrop of New York City.

The names and addresses have been changed to protect the innocent; the rest is 100% real.

The daily update structure helps keep the blog as authentic as possible as well as living up to its title. It also strives to provide the reader with the kind of pleasure that a soap opera offers--a daily dose of voyeuristic fun.

Please begin at the beginning, otherwise, little will make sense.

Enjoy.

Hello you hot little thing,

How are you?  First day of school! Woo Hoo!  Is your back feeling better?

I like renaissance painting, but this was transcendent (love that word).  Plus, it is small.  I like the fact that they are very painterly.  Bernini is amazing.  He painted a pieta that was so sad.  You could tell Mary had cried until she couldn't but was still sad.  Saint John was still in the why? stage of grief.  I half expected them to move.  We went and looked at Rembrandt and then bolted.  We don't usually stay long.

I have a variety of sleeping pills.  I have some that make me fall asleep and others that make me stay asleep.  The problem isn't that I can't sleep so much as I don't want to.  It means I don't want to take the sleeping pills either.  It is stupid.  I am like a little kid.

Work should be ok today.  My boss and lots of other people are on vacation.

I love you too gorgeous.  I am looking forward to seeing you again soon.  I miss you and need you.

Good morning my love:

Yeah, first day of school! Now starts the homework! What new things I wonder I will learn this year : ) I get why you like renaissance painting, but I find them either boring or sad, still those guys could sure paint.

You are insane, like a teenager. They never sleep either. You don't want to sleep because? You might miss something? : )  I get not wanting to take meds, I hate taking meds too of any kind. I hate to be reliant on pharmaceutical companies, because one day they just decide they won't make a product and that's that, like Tylenol. You take Tylenol all your life, then one day no more Tylenol!  but in this case I prefer to.

How come these guys are on vacation now? Isn't after labor day when everyone gets back from vacation? No matter what, having one's boss away is a good thing. I have a bunch of irritating things to do today like find out why the guy from water board which claims the water meter is broken never showed up last Friday? Then they threaten you and shit. I really miss having a well, like I did in Harrison/Westchester. We had one of the last remaining wells in the area. I'm really starting to think that despite my belief in government so many things are better left private, like look at the difference between the post office and UPS service. At least here. In Europe, perhaps because of less mobility, people take their jobs more seriously and are better trained at it.

We're all set for the 14th. My massage appointment is for 7:30. We should talk on the phone sometime this week. We've never talked on the phone, do you realize that? : )  I can't believe we won't see each other for another ten days. Do you want to meet me at the Met this Friday at 5:15 for an hour or so?

I like you needing me. Explain : ) I need you too, and I love you SYB.

XOXOXOXOXO

HFG

I didn't see this message until now. What a treat, two messages in one morning : )  I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

What happened with your feet when you biked? How did your wife get the air conditioner out of the window? Isn't it heavy? Well, if it was old and a nuisance, not such a loss. I guess if it gets hot, which I doubt, then you can stick a fan in the music room.

Hello HFG,

I think I can do the Met on Friday.  That would be nice.  Let me see if I can work it out.

Not sure why they picked this week.  In my bosses case, a little like mine, he has to work around the vacations of the staff.  This might have been his first chance.  He did mention that the kids are not in school yet.

It is a bit odd that we haven't spoken on the phone.  You can call me anytime during working hours.

My wife arranged for the landlord to come in and remove the air conditioner.  He also repainted where it had been.  He did a really nice job.  We have fans, but they are so loud.  I am hoping for cool weather which is in the forecast.

I need you because you have filled an important spot in my life and reawakened feelings I haven't had in a long time.  You have become so important to me.  I look forward to getting your emails.  I think constantly about our next date.  I replay our last date in my head over and over.  I need you because you are in my thoughts so often.  It is hard being in love with someone when you don't get to share their life. 

I love you Roya.  It has been so great getting to know you.  And best of all, I think the best is yet to come.

OK, one of these days, I'll call : ) it's like I'm shy about it, how weird, right?! It thrills me to have awakened feelings in you, you haven't felt in a while. You've brought out a feeling in me I had given up on feeling at all. When I first see you, it's really heady, like it's for the first time. Then I get this desire to feed you and chide you if you're not taking good enough care of yourself (which for the most part you do), while the whole time I'm so aware of you being a man, and am totally sexually attracted to you. On one hand, I really like the fact that you can overpower me, hence me egging you on, and yet I love that you're gentle and caring. It's a really strange and strong mix of things. I think we've gone a bit beyond the fantasy stage. We're no longer a blank to the other to paint with our own ideals. We now know each other more. I hope we'll continue liking what we learn. I'm so glad that it's more real now. I don't want you to be a figment of my imagination. I want you to be you, the flesh and blood you, the David you. You're right, it is hard to be in love with someone you have to share. I hate sharing you, but I get it.

I believe that the best is yet to come too, but it won't be the best, an apex, it will just get better and better into infinity. 

I miss you so much. I hope you can make Friday work.

XOXOXOXO

Hey HFG,

I don't know what I was thinking about.  Well, I was thinking about you and how much I want to see you.  Friday won't work.  I will be with my mom. 

Better and better into infinity sounds really great.  I am so glad I met you.  It has been a dream come true for me.  Getting to know you has been quite a pleasure.  I am glad you are not just super fucking hot.  Not that I would have minded if you were just super fucking hot.  Having the whole package like you is my lucky break.

One of my guitars developed an electrical problem this weekend.  I had to ship it to my guitar guy.  It was a little upsetting.  I was getting very comfortable with this one.  Each has its own personality.  It had been in the closet for a long time.  That is of course why it had trouble.  I hope he can get it fixed and back before the next gig.  It isn't my primary guitar, but it would be nice to have it around as a spare.  I hate to spend time and money on the hardware.  I need practice not hardware.

I love you Roya.  You are the best girlfriend I could have.  I am sorry I won't be able to see you until next week.

I knew your mom would be here, and it's only her second night in town, but I was hoping for a sliver of time. Oh well, I totally get it. I'm sorry about the guitar what a drag. Where do you have to send it? I guess guitars need to be played with or they'd go out of shape like some other stuff : )  Do all your guitars need electricity? Do you play none electric guitars or basses too? Is there such a thing as non-electric bass? When is your next gig?

You're a whole package too, so I'm just as lucky to have a SYB like you.

All of my guitars need an amplifier and electricity.  There are basses that do not require power, but I don't play one.  They are used in classical and jazz but rarely in rock.  I have thought about trying one, but my apartment has enough junk in it.  I send them to my college roommate in Minnesota.  He graduated from a luthier school.  Actually, he is a tennis coach but does this for me.  His work is amazing.  They come back to me better than original.  They are a pleasure to play.  Someday, when I go on tour with the Rolling Stones, I will bring him along to take care of my instruments.  He is a drummer too and a top notch musician.  When we were in college he was 20 years ahead of me.  Unfortunately, he is intellectually lazy.  He won't study math, but will memorize hundreds of bars of drum music.  He got a job maintaining a tennis club, having never played seriously.  Now he owns it and coaches some really high ranked players.  He lives in his hometown with his huge family.  It is a good life for him.  He has adult children now and is still young. 

They do need to be played with.  I could use some maintenance about now.  You are really good at maintenance.  If it were up to me we would be maintaining each other 3 or so times a week.  I really want to go down on you.  That was so great.  I can't get it out of my mind.  Do you like having my tongue inside of you?  Or should I stick to the licking and sucking?  I couldn't tell if you liked that or not.  God, now I have a massive erection.  I wish I could fuck you right now.  Maybe on top of my desk.

Ok then.  You got me all worked up without even trying.  I am so into you.  See, I need you. 

Work is boring.  Today is going so slowly.  I love you Roya.

So much in life is like music : ) your friend sounds really interesting. I wish he were here so I could send the girls for tennis lessons, especially if he teaches as well as he fixes your bass.

I don't believe I've maintained 3 or 4 times a week in a while, but with you, it would've been so much fun! Alas, I guess once a week is the best we can hope for. I loved you going down on me. It was great. You, I declare, have lots and lots of talent. I'm not crazy about a tongue inside me, I did like your tongue on the opening to my vagina, and especially when you licked my clit. Do you notice it swelling under your tongue? I can't wait to practice with you again!!!!! Once, we practice more, you'd know my reactions better. Fucking on your desk would be fun. I've never fucked on a desk before. There are so many things I haven't done before. I would like to do them with you. You have to tell me if there is something you want me to do to you that you always wanted but haven't done yet.

I wonder how we will be after not seeing each other for so long. I guess it will be three weeks by the time we see each other again. It feels like an eternity.

I love you!!!
