I Ran But Could Not Escape

I saw him and I knew he was my destiny So I ran but I could not escape. He was right there. He was talking about children. Children! I was fifteen. What fifteen year old wants children? I NEVER wanted children. He was persistent, which annoyed me. I was totally not thinking along the same lines. I was young, I wanted to live a little. We became best friends; he did not relent. We separated and went to different states to college. I could not keep my hands off him over Christmas. I had missed him terribly. He was my destiny. We have been married forty-nine years. I still cannot keep my hands off him.
