I just don't understand how I have managed to get this wonderful woman's attention, and been able to keep it. How she came to know who I was is still a mystery to me.
There I was sitting in the cafeteria chatting with my mates and she, Gwen, struck me like a bowling ball between the eyes. She is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I'm still at a loss as to why she chose me. She could have had anyone! I'm nothing special. I'm a lot bigger now than I was at college, but I put that down to the lack of rugby and sedentary driving job. And still she stays.
I hadn't had a lot of luck with girls during my school years, but everything changed after I met her. It took five dates before I felt confident enough to be able to kiss her good night after walking her home from the cinema. She never pushed, but I knew that she tried to manoeuvre us into it several times. It's just a shame that I didn't catch onto it sooner.
Looking back I can see that we've always been perfect for one another. I enjoy watching her, making dinner for her and cleaning up after her, whereas that's something she's never been into.
Since she started working for Torchwood and we got married it's been even more difficult, but we seem to be weathering the storm well.
I think I will forever continue being unable to grasp why I appealed to her, but I know I will do everything I can to keep her.
