Rose & Erika

Classic queer love story. We swiped right on each other on Tinder. Honestly, I was completely ready to fall in true love and i believe Rosie was wanting to casually date. Well, surprise baby. We messaged each other for a few weeks before we met in person. She told me she lived with 4 cats and I was like “hmm” and I told her I loved spiders and she was like “hmm.” Then finally, I asked her on a date. A breakfast date on a Sunday morning. I was coming out of the restaurant when I saw her for the first time, she was a tiny person with a shaved side cut and the cutest and warmest smile. I am a complete and total dummy for a great smile. As we dated those first few months, I brought her into my world and she brought me into hers. I quickly fell for Rosie’s cuteness, her kindness, her fun energy, her laughs, her astrological sign (not to make this astrologically gay, I love me an earth sign), her butt and her ability to always help me get back to center. A year ago, we moved in together, and we continue to create a colorful, loving and open space to be ourselves. Life is chaotic and things change all the time, I think I have a plan, then boom, pandemic. Lol but what I know to be true always is my vision of us, two elderly humans cooking each other dinner, sitting comfortably on the couch and asking, “can I have a kiss?”
