I had only dated my butch for a couple of months this past year when Christmas arrived.
It is not a LDR and from the very beginning, I saw her several times a week.
She handed me a beautifully wrapped, red velvet pouch. I was afraid to open it.
She said: "From the moment that I saw you, I fell for you. You deserve these. I wanted to see yours ears sparkle, because you do".
The pouch contained diamond earrings. So beautiful.
I had never had any "real" jewelry before.
They are very meaningful to me because of her verbalized sentiment, not because they are real.
If she had said what she did to me and had given me cubic zirconia's; it would have meant just as much to me because of what she said.
Her gift was from her heart.
We will be together 8 months next week.
PS: She also sent two dozen red roses which were delivered at my job on Valentines Day. Kind of embarrassing to walk them back to my office but it gave me the opportunity to come out at work multiple times, with several people, very easily: "Oh, beautiful flowers, did your husband send them?"
"No, my girlfriend".
"Oh".
