I know this may no sound right but Valentines Day hasn't been one of my favorite holidays for a long time. You see, I fell in love with a man more than a decade ago and it was an unrequited love. He is straight - or claims to be and wanted nothing more to do with me after I came out and made my declaration to him. Valentines Day there for depresses me greatly because I think of what might have been. These days I see him around town occasionally and we are very good aquaintances, nothing more but I remain in love with him. I guess I always will be too. I learned long ago not to fight the feelings I have for him for they will always be a large part of me. I did learn long ago that if you love someone - as much as I still love him, to let them go and wish them happiness. All this brings me to my point.
Somehow I discovered - just before Valentines Day, the story of Luke & Noah from the now-ended Soap opera "As The World Turns" on Youtube and have been watching it for the last week, consuming most of my free time. It astonishes me that a major daytime drama told their story in such depth and I commend the actors Van Hansis and Jake Silberman for their sensetive portrails of these characters. They were not afraid to show compassion for GBLT persons but passion in their onscreen romance. They were the first gay-mail "super couple" of daytime televesion. With their astounding portrails they have compelled me to watch the story of Luke Snyder and Noah Meyer to its conclusion - and I'm only half-way through it. Thank God for Youtube!
In watching them, they have lifted my spirits out of the depression I was in and give me hope that one day I just might find true love - not just sex, but true love that will stand the test of time.
