Tina & Bette - [their story] - I fell in love with a woman

Hello, I am Kate! 1. 2. @kateconnely email: katherineconnely@ Thank you ❤️ I remember the day I first saw her. I remember that day very well. November 2. It was a so beautiful autumn. She was the first person I spoke to that morning, or rather, she spoke to me. Only a couple of days later I realized, it’s so weird that I constantly think about her, she doesn’t get out of my head, her image, her eyes, her gentle, soft and angelic voice, like a bell. She was so kind to everyone, including me. When did I realize that I like her? I think it happened a couple of days after we met, we worked together, there were always a lot of people around, but one day at the end of the day we were alone and started talking, she told me some personal details from her life. There was no one around, just me and her, and complete silence. It was a magical moment, just then, in that minute, something clicked in me, I realized that I have feelings for her. She was 15 years older than me, and seemed so wise, it seemed as if she knew everything in the world, it was always very interesting with her. We understood each other perfectly. Every day my feelings for her became stronger, but it also became more painful, because I understood that I was falling in love with her, but I could not tell her about it. I knew that she would not understand, and then I would lose her forever, even as a friend. So, I didn’t show my feelings, I was hurt a lot, but I didn’t tell her anything. Everything was so weird. It was like I was lost in her. Every time I saw her, I was happy and lost at the same time. I began to behave strangely, sometimes I wanted to attract her attention, and sometimes I avoided her because it was unbearably painful to be near her. What I felt for her, I have never felt for anyone in my life. I thought she was my soul mate. Once I cried, she saw it, came up and began to comfort me, she hugged me, and we sat like that for 5 minutes. I didn’t want this moment to end. It was the best moment of my life. When she hugged me, I felt such a strong connection between us, I do not know if she felt the same or not, but then it seemed to me she did. All that is needed for happiness is only one single person in the whole world. To see her, to know that she is doing well, to hug her is my greatest happiness in life.
