The day we met I was looking rough as a dog. I was absolutely exhausted having driven to Cardiff and back to help out a friend, my hair was a mess, I was dressed in slouch gear and I was hungover.

He was in silhouette when I first clocked him, but I knew there was something special in t he air. After the introductions, the hugs and the obligatory kisses on both cheeks (well, I am asian, oh okay, and a little posh – hah!), I distinctly remember checking out his arse. Mmm.

This meeting had been months in the making and had called for intricate planning and painstaking details. And it was all worth it. All four of us got on like a house on fire…there were no awkward moments…we shared similar senses of humour and felt as though we were old friends. In short, that night was genius.

And that was the night I met him. SP. The boy with the kind, smiling eyes.

After the weekend had passed I tried to forget about him because he was somebody else’s boyfriend. I managed to think of him as a mate for weeks, but then one night he called me up and told me how he felt. How he felt about me. And how I’d been wandering around in his mind since the day we met, but he just didn’t know what to do. And I just couldn’t believe my luck…he felt this way about me.

But wait. The girlfriend.

I thanked him. No one has ever said such beautiful things to me. No one has felt this strongly that they felt compelled to tell me. But that was by the by. There was nothing we could do because he was in a relationship, and it would be wrong for us to embark on something. SO wrong.

And he agreed.

But just a few weeks later he decided that wasn’t enough. He made some big changes in his life. He was single again.

And now we are together.

He makes me laugh, and I mean real, deep belly laughs, he makes me feel wanted and happy and healthy, he is the Derek to my Clive and he gives me the horn. He is kind and brilliant and everyone loves him. And, well folks, as clichéd as it is, thank BLOG I found him…because yes, he is a fellow blogger.

And I think it’s about time you met him…fellow bloggers, ladies and gents, he's been walking amongst you all for months now and we'd like to reveal his real superhero identity...so back up...take a deep breath and please meet my guy…Mr Bonobo Love…
