Edison Jadan is his name and love is his game. This love is much more complex then just strong feelings between two human beings. This love is fully equipped with your worst nightmare and your most blissful dreams. This love is stranger then they come and crazier then your wildest fantasies. This love is pure yet tainted. This love is so much more then words. I will try hard to explain the love between Edison and I but to experience this love you need a scientist to come up with a way to get inside the brain of each of the souls involved in this insane love.
I first met Edison in Junior High. It was seventh grade. He walked into my math class and was introduced as a new student. I immediately began feeling this force inside me. I quickly ignored it and continued with my lesson. As the years passed we created tons of memories. Some seemed so insignificant at that time yet so prominent in the present.
Junior High School I.S. 93 basically put me and Edie in the same setting to let nature take it's course and create destiny. We didn't know it then but about two years later we would have our first awkward kiss and nine years later we would be living together. Go figure.
Our first awkward kiss took place around the corner of my house. It was April 17th, 2003. We were on Grandview Ave sitting on stoop just talking. The famous kiss went a little something like this:
Edison: What would you do if I kissed you right now?
Alex: (me being the little amateur flirt) I don't know. why don't you do it and find out?
Edison: (comes toward me. lips puckered.)
Alex: (I realize hes really going to do this so I ineptly pucker my lips)
Edison & Alex: (tap kiss two times quickly - way clumsy!)
Edison: (backs away and looks at me) Are we just gonna tap kiss all day?
Alex: (easing back in lips puckered and ready to kiss)
Makeout session erupts on a strangers stoop.
We back away again and begin a conversation that changed our lives forever:
Alex: (cheesy smile)
Edison: So .... (lingering silence) You wanna be my girlfriend?
Alex: (thoughts quickly racing through my head. yes? no? what do I do?) YES!
Around 12PM in the afternoon on that sunny April 17th, 2003 during spring break vacation Alex and Edie were officially together.
Ever since then it has been more then a rollercoaster ride. This is a ride to the moon! A trip to mars! A journey through the desert. An exploration of the Rain Forest. A swim in the Antarctic Ocean. It is a love so strange, unique, outrageous, heavenly and erotic all merged in
to one!
I have to admit without Edison I would not have been the person I am today. And as I sit here and freestyle this entire blog post I realize how far I've come. How much better, smarter and more authentic I've evolved. Edison is ambitious, motivating and way ahead of his time. Nothing stands in this man's way. If you tell him he can't get two of something, he will come back with four just to prove you wrong. If you tell him hes not smart enough to get into college he will not only graduate from it but also be on the Dean's List and get better grades then most of his peers. Something interesting happens at least once a day when I'm with him. There's really nothing stopping him. He only knows one direction and that's forward.
We have been through fun times and tough times. We've had the greatest escapades and the most merciless adventures.
More to come. I'm simply in love. <3
