The day we met (his version)

This is Rose Harissa. Rose is a HUGE fan of Leonard Cohen. I know this because the bulk of her OKCupid profile talked about him. Three years ago on this day, a Sunday, I decided to respond to her profile by telling her I’m Leonard Cohen’s love-child. She decided to meet me anyway, that very day. She was at the end of the bar. I was a smiling fool. After some good food, she read me a Pablo Neruda poem she had just translated. It was about big fat sexy drops of water. I was smitten. I grabbed her neck and kissed her cheek on impulse, right there in the bar. That was the beginning of the big soft. It is with us still and it grows. I love this woman.
