“How I Met My Fiancé”
A true story based poem.
I came to a new city that’s where I saw him before…
I was dancing alone on the gay barroom floor…
I didn’t approach him caught up in the music’s sound…
Not to mention the many others he had hanging around…
I was new to Chicago and I didn’t know what to do…
At the now closed gay club that was called “Bistro Too…
Flash forward to a few years later and I still had no lover…
I was SO disappointed by others I doubted I would recover…
I was very disappointed but I was still having a lot fun…
I saw a “Gay Chicago Magazine” and I picked up one…
I usually got one that was not new to do…
What was different was I decided to place an ad in it too.
“Never give up!” and to my surprise…
In the first week I received responses from over 70 guys!
We got together immediately because everything felt SO right…
It wasn’t until years later I realized he was the same one from that club night!
That was 25 years ago and I’m happy to say…
That we’re STILL together and he’s my fiancé.
